Lol! what’s your excuse?...I mean, doesn’t your money have a picture of the queen?..

Veronica is not yet on our money.

But our $5 does pay tribute to Mr. Spock and Prof. Snape.

Thanks. The flip phone does OK outside in abundant natural light. That shot was taken on a day we didn't have thunderstorms. Most of my other pix have been in the house.
I’m thinking I would like to find an old iPhone, wipe all the data, and send it to you to use as a camera. The problem is the last two I replaced couldn’t hold a charge an
May I receive a number?

Welcome!
This shot was(obviously)taken inside. Why does it look so good-besides the TBird? 'Cos the bro-in-law shot it with his iPhone.

Just for grins...
Back to front, these contain:
  1. Epiphone Goth Flying V (6 string guitar) w/ Coffin case
  2. Epiphone Pro V
  3. Epiphone IV
I find it amusing that the largest case is for a guitar that is not a bass. When I bought it, numerous stores in town had Flying Vs. None of them had cases. Since I had to order one, I figured I'd go with the case that was both cooler and cheaper. Turned out to be huger as well.

The case in the middle is what the larger, more expensive Bird came in. It's not all that well made- cheap board material, plastic corners. Of course, I have no way of knowing if it was the original case. But given the problems the bass had, it probably was. Maybe it was a bad year for Epiphone?

I know. Boring shot (not staged). No shoes. Hey, no pants, either, so count your blessings!
