His Masters' Voice

Yesterday, my photography "sifu" asked me why my blog is dead (",).
I am now making an attempt to make Dreamz alive again after putting it on hibernation mode for a few months by putting in this gallery of photos which I entitle "His Masters' Voice". His Masters' Voice, the brandname of this historial masterpieces in the early 1900s. These gramaphones are part of my personal collection, purchased a few years back one by one from my travels in the region.
One day, one of my camera Khaki with the photography blog "Life is fun" purchased a new set of macro lenses and wanted to test it out at my house, on his macro shooting outing. He did his shots with his new lenses, while I did mine with the Nikkor 18-200mm VR lenses. The results of my shots were quite good too I must say, but his was better technically. Must be the good composition skill (",). Definitely not technical skill.

The needle of the gramaphone (photo above), the creator of music in His Masters' Voice.
In my collection are also many 78 rpm records.
Seen on this photo (above) is Lenggang Kangkung Baru, which I guess is more than 50 years old.


Now I have 3 HMV gramaphones in my collection, from different time zones (",)
I think the one nearest to the camera is almost 70 years old while the middle one is the newest.
All are in good working condition.
I think this shot (photo above) is a good one. Composition is good.

The speakers.... gives you a "back in time" feeling, although these were really before the days I was even born (",)
