Personally, I think it would look fabulous as a conversation piece in a certain coffee shop....

Love the idea but the insurance would be astronomical. However, I will bring some of my collectibles to the shop for a one-month exhibit.

Agreed - the insurance would be killer for something that's just sitting there. *sigh* Insurance.....

Love the idea of your cams gracing the walls, though. It's going to stir up some very fun chats with your customers, no doubt.

I put out a display of my old Brownies and folders when I have an arts festival - not only does it draw folks into my booth, but they simply have a great time recalling these cameras in their own families - it's just a positive vibe all the way around.

Is that digital?

Is that digital?

Yep! You operate it with one or more of your digits.

Jeez thats old school, it would be cool to have.

Now all you need is a little bitumen of Judea, and you too can take pictures just like M. Niepce!
