0:38
my second channel daily Vlog channel
0:40

0:47
uh lukewarm not hot at all but lukewarm
0:47
still still still
0:50
good but not scalding to the tongue the
0:53
daily
0:55
woo that's good I bet you could water
0:58
quite a few
1:00
patunas with this and speaking of check
1:04
these flowers out you don't see these
1:06
too often Hidden Mickey stopped off now
1:10
in Stanton
1:13
Virginia pretty
1:15
cool little old school downtown area
1:18
while the architecture of this building
1:19
is absolutely incredible what's really
1:22
drawing my attention is this old
1:25
storefront check out that
1:27
neon I love that they're doing a big bit
1:30
of road work but this theater Vintage
1:33
Theater look like it's still in business
1:36
look at the lights leading down the
1:39
hallway it's your pathway to movies the
1:43
bottom of the Marquee has a few lights
1:44
out but that's okay because these are
1:47
original light
1:49
fixtures so I'm not complaining that is
1:52
awesome as well as this faded what do
1:57
they call this the Cloudy glass bricks
2:00
that you get the tickets at two very
2:03
impressive Banks side by side look at
2:06
the date stamp on there
2:09
1865 and 19 well which is it 1865 or
2:13
1903 okay this says 1865 Capital $1
2:17
million is that today's money or money
2:19
back then because if that was in that
2:22
time frame's mucho DeNiro that's like $
2:25
1.4 kajillion dollars
2:28
today I think I did the math right on
2:30
that what I'm standing in front of now
2:32
was built in 1890 and I'm really
2:34
fascinated by this old Lodge sign they
2:38
met here on Tuesday nights at 7:30 as
2:40
well as this old scale which does not
2:43
look to be quite operational someone has
2:46
someone has lost their Penny they've
2:48
wedged their two pennies they crammed it
2:50
down in there and they they don't even
2:53
know how much they're going to weigh how
2:54
do they even know how much they weigh
2:55
looking at all these clocks all with
2:57
different times on it reminds me of cast
2:59
way what was the what was the Spiel that
3:02
Tom Hanks gave we must not be controlled
3:05
by time or we have to be controlled I'm
3:07
paraphrasing I actually I'm doing a
3:08
really bad job at it but he said
3:11
something about he said something about
3:12
time but to segue this guy's having the
3:14
time of his life well the time of his
3:17
non lifee this area is being patrolled
3:20
but do not fret that is not that's not a
3:23
real that's a cardboard cutout that's it
3:25
it startled me at first too but don't
3:26
don't be alarmed I thought getting my RV
3:28
down here would be difficult this
3:29
18wheeler I feel really bad for him he's
3:33
trapped there smack dab in the middle of
3:36
the road there's a camera Heritage
3:38
Museum here I'm going to check it out
3:41
this place has about every possible type
3:44
of camera historical camera all through
3:47
the age like a treasure
3:49
Trove of camera gear this was the one
3:51
that used in the TV show MASH Allen
3:54
Alder held that camera with the spy
3:58
cameras uh
4:00
Zippo camera I hadn't seen that that is
4:01
a KGB that was made by the Japanese for
4:03
the KGB this is the one I actually used
4:05
in James Bond her M Secret Service you
4:07
only twice this is the one they actually
4:08
used and George lby used it upside down
4:11
almost looks 3D can I look at the camera
4:14
there we
4:19
go museums won't need to keep the
4:19
artifacts anymore they'll have a stereo
4:22
picture of them and they can throw the
4:23
artifacts are
4:25
wet and that never happened a little
4:27
over over enthusiastic a little over the
4:29
second one was a 50 roll pitcher and he
4:32
got doubled am of the business he said
4:34
no he started thinking he says no if I
4:35
get down to a smaller roll count I get
4:37
more business so it got down to 6 8 10
4:39
and 12 depends on what format it was and
4:42
the money was just rolling in 1981 and
4:44
we went to Supreme Court Alby New York
4:47
and peroid suit them for patent
4:50
infringement because of a rooll
4:51
transport mechanism yeah Amro type is a
4:53
glass negative paint with Amber mhm and
4:56
if you don't paint
4:58
it it's nothing there mhm since you put
5:01
on something dark there's your
5:03
image Vice President US vice president
5:06
1849 nice nice half plate mhm he died
5:11
that same year what year did this come
5:13
out this one's 1990 this is one of the
5:15
later models but the original original
5:17
photo
5:24
booths that kind came out in the 40s no
5:24
it came out earlier in that in the 20s I
5:26
think maybe I mean not this model but uh
5:29
rectangular photo booth but the French
5:32
had one before that that was all the
5:34
round he was explaining to me that this
5:36
photo was the only one in existence it's
5:39
the original taken by a very famous
5:41
photographer and he asked me if I knew
5:43
who this was and I did not and he claims
5:47
that this is Walt
5:48
Disney what do you think he was never
5:52
photographed from the side so could be
5:54
true but I have never seen this
5:57
picture very interesting if it is a fact
6:01
so that's the one they were taking the
6:02
pictures when Reagan was shot wow in
6:05
Washington DC right Bernie Boston can I
6:08
hold it I don't I'll just vicariously
6:11
hold it through you I'll pretend that
6:13
I'm holding it when it's really you
6:14
holding it but that's it's pretty neat
6:17
that is amazing right there that I
6:19
didn't think you'd have this this is not
6:21
a camera it it's a camera part it's a
6:23
flash handle a graphic oh okay so that's
6:27
really used it for so that's where they
6:28
got the inspiration in a while wow I
6:31
will be very gentle but this is the
6:34
Prototype lightsaber that George Lucas
6:37
Lucas use I can't see I'm stuttering I'm
6:39
so excited and you're being very
6:40
cautious cuz you normally don't let
6:42
people hold that but that that's right
6:44
is the lightsaber that was the
6:47
inspiration for see I'm Tongue Tied
6:49
right now okay there are two of them
6:50
one's in Manchester England and this is
6:52
the other one you had two of them so you
6:54

6:56
lightsabers yes I see you have
6:58
constructed
7:00

the glass back you can I've seen enough
7:07
I've I have seen it with my own eyes so
7:10

one got shot down and two surviv and
7:55

8:01
in existence so it's the only one they
8:03
know where it is that was used to take
8:05
photos at PE Harbor and I actually took
8:07

8:35
years before Oh this is way before way
8:37
before and then he took this one way
8:39
later the date on this one this is
8:42
probably 6465 probably oh every that
8:46
place was incredibly
8:48
unexpectedly incredible the name of the
8:51
place is the camera Heritage Museum and
8:53
he corrected me on the name of the town
8:55
it's Stanton thought it was ston but
8:57
it's Stanton I stepped inside that that
8:59
bank now look at this notice under law
9:02
Bank hold up is now
9:04
punishable by
9:12
death and if you look inside the lobby
9:12
prepare yourself now for the most epic
9:14
stained glass Skylight sunroof you've
9:17
ever
9:18
seen look
9:20
at that I'm really having a hard time
9:23
wrapping my head around that Walt
9:25
picture he never got photographed from
9:28
the side view
9:30
I looked up on did a quick little very
9:33
quick Google search couldn't find the
9:35
photograph he was telling me that it was
9:38
banned it was not allowed Walt did not
9:40
want that picture going out into the
9:43
world but he had no problem with me
9:45
filming it and taking pictures of it if
9:48
that's true that is mindblowing honestly
9:52
and while we're on the subject of things
9:54
that are hard to wrap your head
9:56
around look at all these fake flowers
10:00
hour in front of this home this isn't a
10:03
business this is a personal
10:22
foliage oh and a monkey I didn't see you
10:22
there I didn't see you hiding there in
10:24
the greenery
10:33
the guy at the camera shop was telling
10:33
me to walk down the street and check out
10:36
this old church
10:38
Cathedral he was telling me the stained
10:40
glass windows
10:41
here are pretty fantastic even from the
10:44
outside looking
10:47
in pretty amazing look at that angel
10:50
there at cherub and it looks as if we're
10:52
allowed inside
11:17
kidding look at the detail in this
11:17
one usually you don't see them with that
11:21
much going on it's like every inch is a
11:24
different
11:25
color I'm the only one in here as well
11:28
it's just me
11:36
I think that's the three wise men there
11:36
this is the view from the pulpits look
11:39
at that organ on the second floor of the
11:42
balcony I bet that thing puts out some
11:45
very beautiful sounds probably very loud
11:48
also soda companies were not the only
11:50
ones who painted murals on the side of
11:52
brick walls this furniture company did
11:56
as well compare
11:58
Grand Primo furniture company I think
12:01
that's what that says for a moment I
12:02
thought I found an actual working pay
12:05
phone but then I noticed that someone
12:07
has eaten the earpiece end of the yeah
12:14
someone even that guy was completely
12:16
confused by the happenings maybe the
12:20
T-Rexes were running in this area I was
12:22
mentioning earlier but there was
12:24
literally nowhere to park my RV cuz
12:26
everything downtown was all based on
12:29
small little teeny tiny cars so I had to
12:32
park it here in this abandoned lot at
12:34
this business I drove around for
12:36
probably 30 45 minutes before I found
12:39
the spot check it out up on the side of
12:41
that Hill those are the crosses the
12:43
minister many many decades ago drove
12:45
across the country placing
12:48
them up on little Ledges that's one of
12:52
the sets right up there the remaining
12:53
sets it's a little warm today I think
12:55
it's in the high 8s low 90s
13:00
summer is just around the corner it's
13:02
rearing its ugly head sooner than
13:06
later I'm not even that far south either
13:09
I'm like way up I'm like in the middle
13:12
of the country Virginia smack dab the
13:16
middle of Virginia and it's
13:17
still toasty
13:42
normally I have hummus with these but
13:42
I'm all out of hummus these are P chips
13:46
with a little cheddar flavor to them
13:49
pretty and I lost my rubber band
13:51
remember how I used to wrap up the
13:59
fritas oh man these are good the fre
13:59
I used to have rubber band around it
14:01
I've lost the rubber band what am I
14:02
going to
14:03
do without my rubber band that museum
14:06
blew my mind that camera Museum was not
14:09
expecting that to be in that
14:12
town pretty
14:26
tomorrow I will trust me as
14:26

14:30
from where who knows got a couple ideas
14:34
on which direction I'm going to head but
14:36
I haven't locked them down up here yet
14:40
I'm still on the fence with which way to
14:44
which way to
14:45
head but I'll figure all that
14:53
out
14:54
Vlog over
