Having missed it last year, I went to the three times a year flea market 
in Brimfield Massachusetts last Thursday.

I bought this very clean Bessa 1 6x9 camera:

and I saw lots of "stuff"

There was the usual tremendous amount of antique furniture, but I didn't 
photograph any of it.

I shot a roll of, (gasp) B&W Plux-X with the Bessa on Saturday... sealed 
it and put it in the refrigerator until the weather gets cool enough to 
prompt me to mix up some D-76.
