imageofpix4u
Super Sot Ellen. I was looking for a good image of a Agfa “CLACK” model Camera. I read about the clack in a camera collectors magazine called Shutterbug (circa January 2000). I have a D-6 Cadet wooden Agfa from about 1925. The article “History of Photography”, did have a drawn picture of a clack, dated 1955. Oh authors credit, Roger W. Hicks. The Pee Wee Vermin? They’re cute unless they’re running wild through the kitchen at night.
“How many mice does it take to shoot a Agfa Clack Camera?” .... Two, if you want it to be a real good picture.” :)
Ellen replied
I had never heard of this camera, i will look it up on internet.
Thank you very much Alex for your comment!

Patrick Desmet
Zeer leuke foto’s in jouw portfolie en een grote bravo hoor !!
groeten Pat
Ellen replied
Hartelijk bedankt Patrick! Ik heb jouw naam eerder gezien, op photo.net misschien?
Patrick Desmet
Hey
Ja klopt Ellen ik zit ook op photo.net , maar jouw heb ik daar nog niet gezien, misschien moet ik straks eens beter kijken of zoeken :-)
Ellen replied
Je foto’s zijn natuurlijk makkelijk te herkennen, maar wist niet of ik ze op Photo.net of Onexposure gezien had.
Mijn naam op photo.net is Ellen van Deelen (mocht je het ooit op willen zoeken)
Patrick Desmet
Ik ben juist terug van zoektoch op photonet en ik heb Jouw gevonden ,prachtig werk heb je hoor !
Op onexposure zat ik ook ,maar nu weiger ik nog om daar naar toe te gaan en zo ook fotos op te posten ,omdat ze werk zoals het mijne tegen stemmen .
Maar daarom verander ik mijn stijl niet hoor :-) site’s genoeg .
Probeer deze eens Ellen een nieuwe site in Rusland maar ze spreken Engels ook , en er zitten goeie fotografen tussen !
http://photogipermarket.com/
Ellen replied
Oh, bedankt Patrick!
Wat vreemd dat ze tegen je werk stemmen op onexposure.
Ik zal eens op die nieuwe site kijken, nogmaals bedankt, Ellen.
Svetlana Sewell
