doug grosjean Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Nice job, Gene. Always fun to see what you've shot on cameras that most serious photogs would laugh at. Meant as a compliment, just in case it wasn't obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I take <i>everything</i> as a compliment. It's idiotic. But it makes me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfophotos Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Great writing once again, Gene. You make me laugh. The Spartus should be crowned the most Holga-esque of 35s. Oh, I like the photos, too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_supplee Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Great shots Gene. I had to laugh about you hating the clowns. I brought back a ceramic clown mask from Germany one year for my youngest daughter, and she couldn't go to sleep until we removed it from her room. She hates clowns. Sorry if any of you moonlight as a clown. I remember seeing the original pics of the abandonded house. I would love to know what that is all about. Looks like a really (or could be) nice place.

rustys pics Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Gene, your "history of the Sparta 35" had me in stitches. You know, I think the "Dad" in the first picture looks an awful lot like Liberace..... I think "Mom" had a little sumthin goin' with her hairdresser. Perhaps Dad ran off and joined the circus to become a drunk clown after he found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnw436 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 LOL @ Russ! Gene, the commentary is getting very good. Been listening to lots of comedy lately or is this simply the real Gene coming out? You're a lot funnier than Hulk Hogan ever thought of being.

Matthew Currie Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Ii take it the drugs are responsible for the somewhat hazy look to those photos. I mean, it couldn't be anything to do with that sharp looking camera, could it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minhnguyen9113 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 The story behind the Spartus 35 is disclosed today by Gene. If it was when the camera just came out we might have a best seller camera " The Spartus..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_robison3 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Great stuff Gene, although I'd kill for that shirt and sweater the dad is wearing. Looking at the picture closer, the dad looks like that actor William Campbell.

tonystokes Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Great story. I have one of those although mine appears a little different and I don't have the box. I checked out some of your fishing photos, I too love those smallies. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitemistic Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Great stuff, Gene. As an aside, I recently read some research (why would anyone research such stuff? Or read it!) that shows that children do not like clowns and are frightened by them. Adults generally think their kids SHOULD like clowns, so expose them to fear and loathing at every opportunity. Keep the show and tells coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
