Marvel Mystery Oil

[limr32 1]

What better way to shot old stuff with Old school.It just has that character that Digital can't compete with.Nice

Thanks That corner gets really great light in the afternoon and every time I see it at that time of day, nostalgia hits fast and hard. I agree that digital would just be too sharp, too detailed, too smooth to express that kind of strong-but-fuzzy-memory feeling. The softness and subtle color shifts of the IP film through that lens are, for me, what creates he visual match to the feeling.

I absolutely love this image!

Good stuff Leo.

Thanks, you two!

Is there any Marvel oil left? My tin ran out a few years ago... wonderful!

Still available. I am never without it Rather amazing stuff.

Yeahbut... the new stuff isn't the same. It's gotten all safe and non-cancer-causing...

nice pic. I cant believe that snake oil still exists.

I thought that perhaps WD-40 supplanted it. But then, not having had the original, I may be comparing apples and oranges. Looks like I might have to explore the hardware store located in upstate Vermont, near my cottage. I don't think anything in that place is newer than 30 years old, but everything they sell works well and lasts forever. Quite possibly the kind of place that stocks Mystery Marvel Oil. At least now I know what to look for. Because everyone needs a little mystery in their lives.

WD-40, and Marvel share nothing other than they started out as mostly crude oil.

Oh yeah, that picture is nice!


I already have a Canadian invasion of sorts, watching TSN online. If Lenny's on the receiving end of a real life in-person invasion I hope she knows how to make poutine.

I don't, unless there is a vegetarian variety

Lovely shot, I really like the oil cans too. Takes me back to my apprenticeship cleaning out and oiling a 1960's Hardinge lathe on a Friday so it was clean for the weekend. Ach, they were cracking machines those wee lathes.

Nice film shot I like it.

Gravy and cheese are vegetarian, right?

Good to know. The way some people use WD-40, you'd think it was a miracle in a can. I wouldn't be surprised if some enterprising soul made it into a men's perfume.

Yep... but you really have to get the chopped smoked meat on it.

I thought the chopped meat was always part of poutine, but I guess it's just a variation. In that case, then yes, I'll make a nice poutine!

Thank you, Ken The window is all smeared so trees through it always look kind of ghostly.
