The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: calendar

I used a Nikkor-O.C 35mm f/2 lens to make this close-up photograph of part of a calendar. The calendar manufacturers had reproduced a poster for 'The Penny Magazine' of circa 1896. That poster had been printed from a lithograph which was the work of Ethel Reed, an American graphic artist who lived from 1874 to 1912. The poster in question belongs now to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, although it is not permanently on display. Ethel Reed's relatively short life ended through drink and drugs after disappointment that she could not find paid work. If you look up her poster advertising 'The Quest of the Golden Girl' you might be puzzled as to why she was not even more successful.

We measured time. We divided it. We made revisions. We engineered instruments of time. We commodified time. Time was bought and sold. We believe time is immutable. Yet we are fascinated by the possibility that it may be elastic. Nikon D2Xs + Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 Close Focus Wide Angle lens. There are several versions of this lens; the serial number of this one is 28430xxx with a filter size of 49mm and marked 'Made in Japan'. That reveals it was made by Komine (Vivitar never actually manufactured any lenses - all the work was contracted out). It was an OK lens, nothing stellar, and I got rid of it. The Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 AI, although slower, is in my opinion much better, but it costs quite a bit more. And better still, I recommend the Nikkor 28mm f/2 AI. Manual of course, but plenty of depth-of-field to work with when using a wide-angle.

A sweet occasion such as this Another chance to reminisce And though together we have grown It's magical how time has flown. Nikon D2Xs and a Vivitar 28mm Close Focus f/2.8 lens.
