We were actually at the Royal Cast Collection to shoot photos of a battered plaster cast Jesus (more on which later).

@jonassmith ooooooh wonderful! I have a vintage Nikkor 85mm f/2.0 which I adore (ditto for a 50mm f/1.8). Your photos are wonderful!
I have a whole bunch of old nikkor lenses, including a 85/1.8 K which is excellent still. I've mostly switched to old D-lenses with auto-focus, but you're making me want to take out the manuals again.

@jonassmith That IS a strange place to visit.
Most of the building is not very heated or cooled, and the first time I was there was deep winther, and it was literally freezing.@mjj Yes, the building could use quite a few upgrades...

It has gone straight on to my Must See list next time I'm on Djævleøen. It being very cold sounds perfect - like it would add to the strange atmosphere.

@jonassmith Great photos.

@mjj @jonassmith @CiaraNi It’s an amazing place! Especially if you go with someone who isn’t too easily distracted by nice rears… My first visit was with a friend who was a bit too excited about the sheer amount of good bummage on display!

@SorenMRiis Hahaha - now I want to visit it even more. And to work the phrase 'good bummage' into general conversations - such an excellent phrase

@CiaraNi @jonassmith @mjj It’s no coincidence that he was the one who gave me this book…

@SorenMRiis Haha, oh that's wonderful. If Mr. Shoulder and Mr. Small are their real names, I'm going to assume that the authors were destined to write this book.

@CiaraNi @mjj @jonassmith Bummage (noun) A display of bum(s). Ex.: “That plumber gave good bummage!” “Greek sculpture tends to be very short on penile representation but makes up for it in bummage.”

@jonassmith @mjj @CiaraNi I think it was one of those Twitter accounts that turned into a book… Like “50 Sheds of Grey”.

@SorenMRiis Ah, that sounds likely. I missed 50 Sheds of Grey too. Humans are a weird and inventive species.
