Tim Burton is so awesome


The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories sketch, 1982-1984. Burton published a book of poetry and illustrations in 1997. This is one of the sketches he made for that book.
Some of his stuff is too gory for my taste, but I still really apreciate his genius like creativity and imagination.
Written Tim Burton and read Imagination.

Here's more.

My old-school camera fettttttish


Leica’s latest price-pumped promo comes in the form of the M7 Hermes Very Special Limited Edition, a calfskin-clad version of its M-series 35mm film camera. It will cost you £8550, or almost $14,400.

Just 200 will be made, in two colors. One, “etoupe”, is just brown and soft. The the other is orange. Make no mistake — these are collector’s cameras, and should never be removed from the box. As such they are labeled with a serial number between one and two hundred.

If you do dare to run a film through the camera, you can shoot with the supplied Leica Summilux-M 35 mm ƒ1.4 ASPH and ratchet the film through the gate at a teeth rattling pace with the Leicavit M rapid winder, a mechanism which clamps onto the bottom and lets you wind-on with a lever, and is also included in the kit.

A few other tweaks have been added, lest you think you’re not getting your money’s worth: the red logo is now black, to avoid unsightly color clashes, and the red “auto” on the control dial now matches the leather cladding. Finally, Leica has thrown in a matching leather strap and a lens hood to sweeten the deal
