While collecting cameras it is impossible to not also come across some interesting aids for the photographic hobby. Herein is a view of some of the things that I've collected along with cameras.

Paintings by Rystron.

Here is a peek at my collection of Rystron paintings mostly from 1999. Said to be an elusive artist... not much really exists on the internet to say who... what... where... when... etc. After my collection there is a section of Ryston paintings that are owned by other folks listed by name and location in the title.
