The Century "Semi-Centennial" stand

check the tax situation 1st!

New York is cheaper! You have to factor in the crazy sales tax situation in Chicago. My neighborhood is even taxed an extra 1% because it's "close" to Navy Pier. Bah.

Not only that, but there is NO sales tax on clothing and shoes in NYC! I never buy clothes in Chicago anymore. I just wait till I have to travel to NY, and stock up!

Eddie, you're the man! My only question is? What don't you have?

that is easy....i do not have a big pile of 100$ bills! wish i had that. i also wish i did not have a "real" job to go to.....if i had stack of 100s i would not have to go to work....that would be the day.

you and anyone else is welcome to come by and go shooting/play with the stuff. it is a great area for LF images for sure.....see you soon.

[Jim Fitzgerald]

Eddie, I'm with ya on the stack of 100's! If I had some I Could come and see you after I made sure that the stack of 100's would be never ending so i would not have to worry about the day job.

Jim- the gov't is printing stacks of $100 bills, but we all know they will only be handing them out to those who *already have* a stack of $100 bills. So be patient!

[Jim Fitzgerald]

Well, silly me! I got in the wrong line I guess because they wanted my $100.00 bills and I laughed and laughed. Oh, I forgot that was the pay us now University line! I'm glad that line is going to come to an end soon and then maybe I can see what a Ben Franklin looks like!

I liked this so much I made it my wallpaper on my desktop. It appears to be an 8X10 Ansco with Ansco stand. No clue on the lens of course because it's covered up with the black velvet lens shade. The thing sticking out in front was to hold different vignetter's. Looks identical to my outfit upstairs except I don't have the rack for the film holders.
