I just spent a weekend in Bishop CA. Besides hiking and looking for petroglyphs, we went to the Laws Railroad Museum. It's located just north of Bishop a few miles and a great place to visit if you are in the area. One small room was devoted to old cameras and I was able to photograph several (all exhibits are behind glass to protect them). I liked this stereo camera & slides and the old barber pole. There are rooms devoted to medical, dental & pharmacy items. Other rooms showcase a beauty shop and automobiles. These cabins/rooms go on & on. It's fun to see all their collections and one could easily spend a few days there. Outside there are trains & a replica of a train station. They were offering train rides this weekend too.
I used my iPhone camera and an app called Photo55. It gives the photos the look of old Polaroid photos. I thought it would be an appropriate time to try the app with these old items.

Especially love the one with the barber pole. Simple composition, strong foreground object, cool sink. Well done. --Carol Leigh
