I like this Mamiya C-series medium format camera. Now if they would stop blinking while I am taking pictures.

More than you might imagine.
"Increase in film sales spurs Kodak to bring back Ektachrome"
It should be available by the end of this year. 2017 is being called the year the film returned.

Following from my earlier post (which is a quote from someone I know who owns one) - I wouldn't be seen dead using one, and the one person I know spends half his life boasting how easy and quick it is, and the other half moaning about the shots he missed because he couldn't follow the action or doesn't have a long/short enough lens. Me? I just thrash away with one or other of my Nikon DSLRs, and rarely miss a shot.

[hums] A judgin' we will go, a judgin' we will go...[/hum]

OK, to answer the questions I posed: that's a Mamiya C-family TLR camera (my negative [and yes, it is on film...] isn't quite clear enough to say which one, as they're all quite similar -
and I own a C3, so I know... ) so everyone stating one of that family was correct. (not a Mamiyaflex, though...)
the other question, which only two persons tried (and failed...) to answer: this is at the 2016 Folsom Street Fair, and it's one of only two shots I got there (the other also of this guy)
that falls within "family-friendly" guidelines...

on to the actual captions:

In Third Place is Monday (Garfield the [cartoon] cat hates you, BTW...) with:
" I am not an anachronism. "

In Second Place is Carlos with:
"I am a photo medium, I can see the past."

and in First Place, and next shot, goes to [TA DA!] Grant for his:
"I shutter to think whats he's shooting."
I can't post that here, Grant, (not family-friendly!) but it's available (for adults) on the Flickr site, click on the photo in the thread here, then go back a shot... (if you see another shot of this guy, you went the wrong way...)

PM going out as soon as I post this...

Actually he hates the epynomous day of the week - I was just trying to inject some humor into the body of my judging.

Sorry to hear that Grant. I guess it falls to me in second place. I just found one that I thought would be perfect too. Caption this one.
