the Dirkon and other paper cameras reuploded

have fun building these, I haven't built all of them only the Dirkon and the Rubikon and haven't used either of them yet but I'm pretty sure the Rubikon will not work so I will just keep it for display(It's a hard one to build). I haven't seen the Peyote or the LivingStone so I don't know what they look like even and recently I found a Dirkon clone made by IDNProShop but I haven't been able to find a download link so if any one knows about this cam pas me a link so I can share it here.

Responding to Negative Experiences With Others.

When someone does something that you don't like how do you respond? How should you respond? Should you get angry and stay angry? Is it a sign of a bad day? Is the person who did this responsible? Should you be mad at him/her? Now that it is over are you going to continue to blame and make excuses? Is any one else really responsible for your experience? Did they create this experience or did you?

The real questions you want to ask your self in this situation, at the moment of the experience is...

Do I want to be right/angry or happy? What will make me happy?

You see you can get mad, you have that right, you can blame others, hold a grudge, or look for more reasons as to why things should go wrong. But these things wont make you happy. They might make you right, but not happy.

Those other people who did whatever it was that made you mad. They are part of your reality but they can not effect your reality and they can't create for you. If they change and stop doing the things that upset you then you will find someone new to validate your belief. If you leave and move to a new environment you will find new people to make you angry and validate your belief. Your reality wont change until you change how you respond to it. You can get a new doctor but he will just make the same mistakes with your prescriptions as the last one did. No matter who is a part of your reality, if you want your reality to change you have to change, not anyone else, only you. The thing is if you don't change and they do, then they will stop being a part of your reality. (Just a thought, but if you love that person do you think it will make you happy to have them stop being a part of your reality?)

So first, start to respond differently and then start to think about what you want. It's so easy and it will make you feel so much better. Plus, the best thing of all is you will start to see some of those things that you want, including having the people around you respond differently, in ways that you can be grateful for and you can't be grateful and mad at the same time, it's impossible. Be happy in the face of what happens even if it's something you can't appreciate and you will stop having negative experiences. As you change so will others but you have to go first, you can't hold others responsible for your happiness, or expect them to change to make you happy, it just doesn't work that way. As I said before "change how you respond to your experience and your experiences will change."

Be happy, laters

New Cameras for my collection...

Xmas and my birthday have been very good to me this year. all together I have added 7 cameras to my collection. I've already posted the Cameras I got for Xmas. Here are are some pictures of what I have received recently.

first up is an un-named water camera these are all over eBay with all sorts of names but I have been told that it may just be a Vivitar.

This Polaroid: One Step 600 Flash Close-Up came like new with box and instructions. I cant wait to get some film and try it out.

This Zeiss Ikon: Box Tengor 756 is in working order lenses are in good shape and seem to be free of dust, it even has a spare spool so I may try it out when I can get some film. laters

Letting what others are doing bother you.

People do this all the time, my self included. But I truly believe it is senseless to try to change other people or expect them to change simply because you don't like how they do things.

For one thing if you allow others to bother you, then you are giving them the power to control how you feel. No one is responsable for how you feel, only you can take responsibility for how you feel, you can't blame others. Learn to let go of the need to be in control of what others are doing. Control is an allusion, you can't be in control of everything, all the time. You may create your own reality but you don't create the reality of others and you can never control it. Think about your priorities for a moment. What do they all boil down to? Is it happiness? (for your self and those around you) Or do you just want to be right even if it means you and everyone else are unhappy.

I'll tell you a secret, the only one who is in control of you is, your unconscious. He/She is the one who make all the decisions. Not your Mother, or your Father, your teacher or your mentor, your brother or sister, Grandma or Grandpa and not your self/ego. Your unconscious controls everything, that's it's job. That's how it protects you, it's only trying to make you happy. But you have to tell it what it is that will make you happy and make sure that it understands. You can talk to it, and it will answer you if you listen. but even if you cant hear it you can still help it to understand what it is that you want. Simply keep your self focused on what you want. So if Joe Blow steps on your foot forgive him and let it go. if people aren't doing things or acting the way you want, try to let them be their selves for a change and see what happens.

Because I'll tell you another secret, People are only doing the best they can at that moment. They don't want you to be unhappy, any more than they themselves want to be unhappy. But their experiences up until that moment have taught them to act and respond a certain way. They don't know how else to act or respond. And they can't respond any differently until they have a new experience that teach them to act and respond differently. And guess what, your doing the same thing.

So have some patience and be more tolerant of others. It will help you both to have a happier experience. Happiness is my priority, it's everyone's priority. Be happy!
