A friend borrows a friend’s SLR and somehow loses the control knob. He then delays the return a couple days, finally giving it back with a new, beautifully etched wooden control knob. That is a good friend.

The other day, a photo that I made and published on my flickr profile got picked by gizmodo.com and, consequently, got a lot of attention. It’s a photo of a wooden control knob from my old Fujifilm S5600 FinePix digital photo camera.

I’m really happy with the way the new knob looks and feels.

To all the gizmodo readers I want to say that my friend is a good friend and I appreciate the time end effort he put into this little wooden knob.


And for all my blog followers, here is an exclusive image of the same wooden control knob viewed with the entire camera body:
