If after serious thought or a full moon or large vat of alcohol intake or any combination thereof, what form of tatoo would you have applied to your skin to show your a). love of Leica b). non love of Leica Please feel free, yet responsible, when posting, to specify details of location, while keeping in mind that this is a family of photographic folk including young'uns.
Yeah, Peter, I have been reading the glow thread. Plus, I have a couple of herniated discs which are making my version of walking right now mean that snails lap me. I just thought we might have some fun. at least part of mine would be Made in Canada and a serial number that would fit the year 1953
The outline of a Canon L-1 in black with a 50mm f1.4 and proper hood I think Right shoulder would do nicely. I'll let you decide if that is pro or con of which I am neither owning both Canon Rf and Leica Rf's as the case may be. I just like my L-1 best. And I wish it was Black.
I suppose it would be bright red on my Forehead and it would say "Loser" in Leica script. THen of course I would put black tape over it so as not to attract attention. jmp
Oh yeah.... Leica Bumper Stickers: "My other Camera is also a Leica" and "Nice camera, sorry about your Pe**is"
"Leica Uber Alles" or "Ein film, ein lens, ein Leica" or "Ist das nicht ein uber lens?" or "Ein, zwei, Leica"
Reminds me of a friend I played hockey with - had a Bruins tattoo on his forearm - a big one - he was drafted & dedicated his life to them - then was traded ... If I was to get tat's - I would look like a freak - would look like Nascar or Indy cars because of all the cameras I have or have used.. Besides - I don't even like wearing clothing with logos - so a tattoo would probably have to be something like an image I've taken - not a logo per se. Hence - the only option would to have one on my ... which would read "Linkninhfaia" in one state & in the other state would read "LeicaNikonLinhofMamiya" Not sure the wife would like it much - would need too many lens tissues to clean Sorry if I've gone overboard here - not enough alcohol yet to make me a reasonable person.
Last time I was close to getting a tatoo my friends where so drunk, they forgot me under the table in a pub. So I woke up with a bad hangover like everybody else but without a sailingship or an anchor on my arms Must have been autumn 1985 in Newcastle, that Brown Ale is potent ...
Tough crowd -- I think a funny question anyway. I'd do a red dot of course. Would also do double duty to show my love of the Goerz "red dot" Artars I use on my 8x10 Deardorff. Not sure where I'd put it though.
A tatoo on MY bulging muscular arms? Crap, it'll take attention away from the T-shirts! The version Marc Williams designed already has two Leicas on it.
I guess my tattoo would be: "JESUS SAVES... BUT ESPOSITO SCORES ON THE REBOUND!" just continuing the hockey threads.
Dumbest thread of the year/decade? Not hardly. You obviously haven't been around here long enough. And this forum jumped the shark when it moved off the greenspun/LUSENET servers.
Be kind to wjg as bad back trouble can affect one in many ways. Oscar - lovely, but do you need the "I" or am I in the wrong area ? (The sun shines from many strange places)
well, I thought it might be fun...since there are quite a few witty souls on this forum. to those who took this as an idea to play with, thanks for posting.
