My Leica R8 35mm Single Lens Reflex Camera691 viewsI've been waiting for the Leica Digital Modul R to come out so that I could convert my Leica R8 to a digital camera. But the wait seems endless, and the recent review in Amateur Photographer wasn't stellar. So off to eBay. I can still use my Leica lenses on my Canon EOS 1D Mark II digital camera.Nov 17, 2005

Philco Model 20 Radio531 viewsI barely remember what a vacuum tube looks like. Certainly more interesting than printed circuit boards.Nov 17, 2005

Philco Model 20 Radio444 viewsCan't you just see the family gathering around this radio in the 1930's to listen to The Green Hornet?Nov 17, 2005

Philco Model 20 Radio461 viewsWe purchased this in New York City, but then moved it back to England. As it's made to work on U.S. electricity, not much joy of picking up the BBC on this 1930's radio. But we had fun taking this photograph.Nov 17, 2005

WMF Gondolier Centrepiece607 viewsI am told it's quite unusual to have the original glass bowl with this piece. The bowl is quite delicate, and a strange shape --- and it has lasted (with just a few chips on the edges) for over 100 years. And at least two trips across the Atlantic. We purchased this piece in Buenos Aires.Nov 17, 2005

WMF Gondolier Bowl5281 viewsWe purchased this large centrepiece bowl --- made from silver-plated "Britannia Metal" (pewter) in the late 1800's --- in Buenos Aires in 1995. As there's no room for it at Whitecroft, we've put it up for sale on eBay.Nov 17, 2005

J. Causs Mirror - Candlestick Centrepiece637 viewsWe purchased this in Buenos Aires, Argentina about ten years ago for the New York apartment. As we've sold the NYC apartment, this young lady doesn't really fit into Whitecroft -- so we've put her on eBay. Marjorie and I had fun taking this photograph: how do you get the mirror to look reflective, but not reflect the camera, ceiling, lights, etc.Nov 17, 2005

The Orchid House4736 viewsIt's a cold autumn day outdoors, but in the Whitecroft orchid house it's always summer. That's our indoor (outdoor?) shower on the right, with a shower head like the Savoy Hotel. The shower head is currently holding our insect-eating plant: Emilia has taken great care of it, and it's becoming the Triffid.Nov 10, 2005
