A most peculiar place indeed.

What do you call the guy in the third and fifth photo? It would be a
Kasper in German or a Guignol in French.

In the U.K. that would most often be identified as "Mr Punch"
(from "Punch & Judy" puppet shows, and also featuring on the
masthead of "Punch" magazine)

I didn’t do hallucinogens in college, but if I had, that’s about what I would 
have expected to see.

Fun photos.  I am also curious as to which one you got?

GESO - Mercer Museum

2023-09-09 Thread Rick Womer
Yesterday we took a trip to Doylestown, a well-preserved town incorporated in 
1838, about an hour west of Philly.

Among its assets is the Mercer Museum, established by Henry Mercer in 1916, and 
filled with his (very idiosyncratic) collection of tools, baskets, decorative 
tiles, stoves, carriages, dolls, pottery, and a fire engine,  The exhibits are 
very haphazard and not very well labelled or annotated, but it is a very 
interesting place nonetheless.

So, herewith a haphazard collection of photos:

(K-5, DA 17-70)

Comments always appreciated!

A nice toy indeed for such abstract results. What model number do you have?
Perhaps you can fit it on a Pentax for the next PUG?

Raynox msn 505.
Yes I will mount it on my pentax macro. Step down ring is on its way from
china.. Maybe in time for the next pug. My pentax gear is collecting
dust...

Found it at a local flee market. Had to google to find the modelnumber.
Apparently an expensive raynox, 4 lens elements in 3 groups. I dont see the
usual out of focus CA.

He is based on the character of Pulcinella from the Italian Commedia dell’arte. 
His profile is said to be derived from that of the Emperor Vespasian, as seen 
on Roman coins.
