Oh, how I wish I had more time for this obsession! After working all day at a desk, photography provides an anchor in this crazy life, keeps me sane, and keeps me happy. Everyone should look through a viewfinder to really see their world; to capture the moments, the feelings, and the memories.

Very cool Helene! Showing my ignorance here, but i know nothing about argus. ;) I like your focus and how this looks framed….especially like the made in USA part!! =)
I confess, I never heard of this camera until a friend in the office brought it in. AND, you got it!…‘made in the USA’ was exactly what I was trying to highlight!!! Thanks!

I love it — there is a harlequin like reflection in the lens!
