I've been rather into die cutting recently.
I picked up a second Sizzix Big Shot at a thrift store recently, so I now have one at home and one that I can take on the road with me.
It feels a little luxurious to have two, but the reality is with tools I intend to use a lot, I find having one for home and one for travel means when I'm home, I can just walk in and get to work and not have to set up and tear down which is something that often is an obstacle to my creativity.
Mind you, with my travel one I'm still sometimes struggling to take it in from the car, but at least it's now an option!
Snapped this shot of a scrap sitting on a keyboard, and had then had some editing fun.

I wonder if this is a Backyard Baseball first. A big shot from Ernie that bounced off the head of the right fielder and over the fence for a homerun!

A couple of weeks ago I posted on social media that now I have the Polaroid Big Shot there’s no other cameras that I really need. And then I came across what is undeniably the oldest camera in my collection, the Ensign Ensignette No. 1. Definitely falling under the Kamerastore’s ‘not passed’ category, the body is worn, the insides are full of rust, dirt and fungus and the bellows have large holes in them, so why on earth would I want this?
Well, for a start it’s the oldest working camera (well, ‘working’ in the sense that the shutter fires, but that’s about it) I’ve ever seen on the website. From the little bit of research I did before adding it to my basket I’ve dated this camera to about 1909-10, making it about 114 years old. It also takes a long defunct film stock called 128 film, which was made specifically for this camera and it was so popular that even Kodak produced film for it.
To date the camera I looked at the front plate for a start. The plate of the early Ensignette cameras were plain, with the name of the camera and other parts embossed on the front. According to Camera-Wiki, ‘Pre-1911 cameras have a flat front plate with the “N-sign” trademark engraved on the bottom corner. Post-1911 cameras have embossed circles on both ends of the front plate where [the tabs] begin.’ (http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Ensignette) In addition, later cameras have a four digit serial number while this model has a serial number of E263, suggesting that it really is an early model. Since the camera was launched around December 1909, I reckon that this camera was either from this first batch or from some time in 1910. Of course, I could be completely wrong, but it’s nice to dream.
As mentioned, the condition of this camera is horrible. Usually, when the Kamerastore describe an issue with a camera they are quite harsh in their description, but it’s an overstatement. This time, however, it was completely fair. Outside was not too bad, the body was worn, of course, but that’s expected for a 100-year-old camera. The marks for shutter speed (‘I’ and ‘T’) and the aperture were completely worn off and will need repairing. Also the shutter selector, for instant or bulb, and a little leg were completely missing. I reckon that at some point someone had tried to repair this camera and lost these pieces.
Upon opening the camera the real horror was revealed. The inside of the camera is full of dirt and rust. Surprisingly there is a meta 128 spool remaining but it’s completely rusted and stuck inside the body. Inside the bellows is full of dirt and a blue fungal growth, or it’s copper rust, I’m not really sure. The lens is full of haze and will have to be removed for cleaning. I can’t really describe how awful it is, but the photos show what I’m up against.
If you look at the bottom plate you can see that there is one screw missing, reinforcing my view that a repair had been attempted. Despite all of these challenges, I’m still going to try to get the camera working again. If I can cobble together another spool I can make a six-exposure paper backed roll of 35mm film, and with an original frame size of 57x38mm, this might make a nice little panoramic camera.

A quotation from Mickey Spillane
The critics panned Spillane, but he didn’t care. He said, “Those big-shot writers could never dig the fact that there are more salted peanuts consumed than caviar.” He said he never had a character who drank cognac or had a mustache, because he didn’t know how to spell those words. He said, “I have no fans. You know what I got? Customers. And customers are your friends.”
Mickey Spillane (1918-2006) American crime novelist [Frank Morrison Spillane]
