Ara ? a new theme here ! so refreshing ! isn't ? Kind  of childish and cute !! Who  could resist to that ? :)
 since im such a new bie on LJ i just managed to turn it to PLUS account haha silly !


   i was browsing forums on cr and i found an odd thread (like all threads) it was like :
Have you ever wished to kill your parent?
i was like "what's up with that guy now"  it turned that he was i think 14 years old. Let me remember in my 14s  i was playing outside with my friends till we were out of breath, school in my country is not a difficult thing at all so most of the time we had to do our supposed home work at shool, and had all the afternoon to play like crazy people outside , it was an awesome time ; im proud to say that i had a very joyfull childhood and  i played my ass out like a real kid until my early 17! then little by little your family starts to make you understand taht you are not a kid and start to give you warrning signs and you start to know where your limits are, by the time you realize you are 20 and you have only one step forward allowed and unlimited steps behind allowed .
But im still amazed on how we grow up and how much our vusion changes each and everyday about things we never thought we'll notice back then when we were kids !
Growing up is nice , i don't regret growing up , so don't too ! *smiles*

Meet my Zorki 06

  • Jul. 16th, 2008 at 6:43 PM

These cameras were produced by factory "KMZ" (Krasnogorsk) since 1959 up to 1966.

The Zorki 6 is a rangefinder camera produced by the Russian factory KMZ (the makers of the SLR Zenit).

This is the sixth camera of course in the produced Zorki lineup, and the last unique model to be created. The Zorki 4K, produced after the 6, is a re-incarnation of the 4. The Zorki 6 is nearly identical to the Zorki 5, but with a hinged back, and some problems fixed, such as the problems shown by some examples of the 5 when their shutters are cocked with the lens removed. The self-timer missing in the Zorki 5 was also re-added.

This can be thought of as a loose Leica copy, since it is based on the original Zorki, which was more or less a direct copy of the Leica II. This camera is however quite different from the 1, and engineered in Russia, although it does still have the classic Leica cloth shutter. Shutter speeds are from 1/30th to 1/500th of a second plus B, and unlike most Russian rangefinders can be set before or after cocking. As for the 5, the shutter is cocked by a wind lever, which got smoother in the 6, although this varies with models nowadays.

Frames are counted by a rotating collar and must be reset manually after inserting each new film. The shutter release is located on the film advance lever, along with the film counter.

The rewind button is located to the left of the wind lever. This camera is stepped so as to recess the windlever below the other controls, making it more compact. Strap lugs are also included as on the Zorki 5. There are two flash sync sockets, X and M, and a cold shoe.

Vertical adjustment for the rangefinder is done by rotating a collar in the rangefinder exiting optic. A horizontal adjustment is done by a screw hidden behind the screw holding the left of the nameplate (when looking from the front).

This camera most commonly has the Industar-50, although the Jupiter-8 and Industar-26m as well as collapsible Industar-50 were also produced with it as standard lenses.

A familiar mechanical self-timer is on the front of the body like other Zorkis and FEDs of its time.

The tripod collar is 3/8 in., unlike the standard 1/4 in. for modern 35mm cameras.

The nameplate is a separate metal piece screwed onto the front. There are at least three versions of nameplates, the cyrillic, the roman, and the cursive roman, the last being the rarest. On roman models there is a stamp on the back reading Made in USSR, and the Russian equivalent on cyrillic models, and on some models there is no inscription. The KMZ logo is also stamped on the back, along with the serial number from whose first two digits the year of manufacture can be deduced.

Produced between the years of 1959 and 1966.

Width: 135mm Height: 80mm Length: 70mm

Fundamental Techniques in Handling People

  • Jul. 16th, 2008 at 6:41 PM

while browsing  on the internet something ketp my attention, one of my online friends having some notes written on his page this was some of it :

Six Ways to Make People Like You:

"Become genuinely interested in other people."
"Smile."
"Remember that a man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language."
"Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves."
"Talk in the terms of the other man's interest."
"Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely."

This kind of text is a typical American book for loner !

when i thaught about it again i found that it's not that way you make people like you !

To make people like you it's not wise to make them the center of the attention and talk

a lot to them and ask thm a lot !people tend to not like others who talk alot and ask them

a lot *i noticed that because i used to be a chatter mouth outside* they think you are stupid and a loner who wants a lot of attention !be more queit more misterious no personal life talking not too much smiling to them make them FEEL miserable!you may think it's arrogant ...but it's the way to survive nowadays!! people tend to feel special and make them selves special to everyone the more you bring them down the more they will face you !the more you ignore them the more they will want to talk about them selves and make you notice them!!the more you look down at them the more they will fake ignoring you but will eventually turn back and Ask you WHY do you this !the next one who ignore me " a guy" i will marry him -joke?- no it's not :P !i was born talkative GOD!!! i couldn't hold back words ! i was born to talk and to make people listen to me and notice me  i like being noticed for my abilities ,  but they tend to make you an idiot , so i changed to the QUEEN OF VANITY AND ARROGANCE and now they feel miserable every time the talk!to them , and those people keep COMING AND ASKING FOR MORE!!! , it may sound imature but this is the  way the Human being is ! i just don't lie to myself ! i don't hold back my ever lasting good mood to people i know , i like te reverse the situation , i like the feeling of being Liked ! who does not actually ... uncousiously we live with people's opinion ! you are saying "no i don't care about others i don't mind them"  in fact you don't even if you live for yourself  you need to use your 1% of vanity we need others  to survive this is what life is  ! we are all connected ...  to be continued?
