When life was slower.
My local community stages Old Time Farm Days annually, the goal being to show how farms were run a century ago. It’s a lot of fun, especially for kids.
Five generations of Army.
Revolutionary War soldier. Those muzzle loading muskets
may have been slow and wildly inaccurate, but they
still managed to do a number on the Redcoats.
John Deere.
Old time tractor.
Barn.
Horse harnesses. Even at full aperture the 35mm f/2
Canon LTM lens delivers fine resolution.
98 year old cream separator.
The hand cranked separator in action. The centrifuge
spins at 4,000 rpm flinging the heavier cream
to one side, the skim milk to the bottom.
Children watching the separator in action, all rapt attention.
Corn husker. Simple, effective and fast.
Blacksmith working cast iron.
All snapped on the Leica M10 with the 35mm f/2 Canon LTM (all but the first image) and the 90mm f/2.8 Tele-Elmarit.
