I've always LOVED the look of this classic camera - Made by a German company called Rolleiflex - it was their long running line of medium format twin lens reflex cameras... (no I did not know that. I just looked it up on Wikipedia.) But, I have known of these cameras and just exactly how freaking cool looking they are. They are so cool, James Dean is famously known to have owned and used one... So, I've been thinking of painting a Rolleiflex for awhile. For no other reason than it is the animal that seemed most likely to hang out on a Rolleiflex, I perched a tree frog on it.
