It is a grey box camera (w/ a wood tripod) 6" x 8." The maker is Andrew Loyd (I'm not sure if this is supposed to be Lloyd). Were box cameras in wide use during the Civil War? or was it just cameras with bellows.
When you have a box camera I know that you probably will need a cloth to act as the shutter, but do you need a cloth cover the back of the camera?
Do cameras with bellows produce the best images, or is it possible to get a decent photo with a box camera?

Ok, I really would like an unbiased view as to what acting schools in Burbank or the area are the best. I have asked many people, and for obvious reasons, they always claim that where then attend is the best, afterall, who wants to think that there are missing out on something that could be better. I realize that with acting, what works for one person, might not work for another, but in terms of competence, what acting schools are good,and what ones arent even worth checking out? Thanks

They say that your whole life is going to end up, in a sense, revolving around your main passion. My main passion is God, and I live my whole life to glorify Him. But my secondary passion is music. I absolutely love making it, playing it, listening to it. My passion may or may not end up leading to a carreer, depending on whether or not it's fed.

What would you say your main passion is right now?

I like fantasy and historical fiction the most. But will read anything, except those mushy romance novels.
Thanks

Do you think that if time travel ever becomes possible in the future that we would know about it now? If time travel is possible, then someone from the future would have come back to the past and we would then know that time travel is possible in the future, right? I'd like to hear other thoughts on this.

But not doing it inevitibly leads to destruction and suffering by someone or somewhere distencencing us from that paradise and the further we get from that ideal the closer we are to our own extinction. I'm not sayying something like this can be done overnight but if it's what we actually strive for any true progress towards it can only be a good thing right, and I know we could we get closer to it then most of us even imagine, especially closer to it then we do now, how do you actually think we can move closer to that ideal?

Why do the UK and US version of the Harry Potter books have different covers? Why are there different versions of the book? I know that they change some of the language to make it easier for those in the US to understand (i.e. some Americans don't understand some of the phrases used in the UK) but why do they have to change it? I think it should be printed the same as JKR wrote it no matter where it is released.

The "Secret" thing is interesting but they dwell on materiality and that does not sit right with me. I am not saying that we should not be comfortable in this world but the "Secret" seems to primarily focus on having stuff than having inner peace.
