Wrench for adjusting alarm clock balance pivot cones  Here is a multi-sized runner I made, for polishing clock pivots.  This is the lens I hold in front of my digital camera to take close-ups, and the adapter collar I turned from some scrap.  I had to put a new mainspring in my pocket watch. My Dad had an inherited watchmakers bench and tools in the house when I was growing up(still does actually). I've watched him use it occasionally when nessecary. These pictures made me think of him :)

 I drive by all the hot spots.
If you haven't, you should read this award-winning story. Fine, fine, I only won a potato, but I'm sure you won't be able to peel your eyes away from it.

I have not made the word too paranoid right? I usually make now 3 copies. All get stashed in different locations. I do not trust the hard drives much, just my thoughts.. I do not have a valid reason not to. On another note: what I find complicated is the cataloging (for retrieving) of the photos. What do you use?

.....Besides, its the lens that makes the difference most of the time.
Great comment. I’m a photog enthusiast. When someone ask me regarding a camera because they want to take those great photos that they see, I remind them that it was the trained eye behind the camera that took the photo. If they ask me again, as most often happens. I tell them (as you have commented) that the camera it’s just a box that used to hold film and now instead it has a chip. It was the lens that made the pic. ...extraordinary photos and techniques, congrats.

I will see what I can dig out of my archives, when I find my exterior hard drive.
It'd be cool to see one of mount everest.

I'm a tad.....anal, there really is no other word to describe my cataloging technique, which is a rather unfortunate description, considering where we are  I have the photos in folders sorted into years. These are then sorted into groupings, headed under each of my children's names,special events, holidays, scenic, garden, pets ect. Then, I know it gets worse, under each folder i sort the images into sub-folders for the months they were takin in. It works for me. Lol if I can remember what year and month they were taken in
