adult toy stores

bush plane inside scheel's​

Scheel's is a legendary palace of capitolistic excess that relies solely on discretionary income. ie, it's a gigantic toy store for adults. This 3/4 scale bush plane hangs from the ceiling.

Darlot 12" landscape meniscus, 4X5

There will be more in this mini series, but this is a start!

Jim,

I love the propellers sharp and then the rest is like the wings of a moth.

Where is it? what's the address? I want one!!!

The Darlot lens, of course!

Thanks Asher. Here's the rest of the series. Maybe this would serve better in the 'film' category.

Done with a 9" Struss Pictorial lens

Done with the same 12" Darlot

Done sharp with a Cooke Series iiib 6.4" lens in an ancient Koilos shutter.​

2 of the lenses easily over 100 years age, the Struss being a mere 95 or so.

Scheels is a large Sporting Goods store in Sparks NV. alongside the I80 freeway. I asked permission before I carted tripod and 4X5 camera into the place. This kit is actually very compact.

Hi Jim,

Really like the pictures, thanks for sharing.

PS: I must have a dirty mind as I have imagined something else upon reading the title "adult toy stores", lol. Isn't that supposed to be a joy forever?

Cheers,

Gotta get people to look at my pics somehow! Snappy title, fuzzy pictures.
