Vintage Camera Collection

I love antiquing.  Let's be real.  You can find so many cool things when you take a minute to look around.  Flea markets are also a good place to check, but antique stores are more practical (at least in New England they are).  I seriously had no intention of starting a collection, but when I came home with three vintage cameras after a successful day spent at various antique stores, it was pretty much decided for me.  So far I have 7 in my collection and I intend on getting more.

Kodak: No. 1 Autographic Kodak Jr.

produced 1914-1927

mine from 1921.

takes 120 film. 

Kodak: Brownie Six-20 Camera, Model E

produced 1947-1957. 

Model E's produced from '47-53 had vertical stripes on the front

'53-57 had horizontal stripes.

mine from 1953-57.

takes 620 film.

Kodak: Duaflex II

produced 1950-54

unsure of when mine is from.

takes 620 film.
this might be my favorite camera, I've always found TLRs to be so cool!

Kodak: Instamatic M5 Movie Camera

"for Super 8 movies"

produced 1960s

I saw an ad in a 1966 issue of Life magazine for this; earliest I could find for this camera.

takes Kodapak Movie Cartridges.

Kodak: Brownie Hawkeye Camera

produced 1949-51

takes 620 film.

my grandfather gave me this camera, it was his when he was younger.

Kodak: Baby Brownie Special

produced 1938-1954

takes 127 film.

again, this was from my grandfather

Kodak: Brownie 127

produced 1952-59

mine from '52-55

takes 127 film.

this was from my nana, it was hers when she was younger. she said her brother got it for her.

A lot of the information on this post is from here, and from previous research I did upon first obtaining these cameras.  I'm pretty sure most of them work, the only one I'm really unsure of is the Super 8.  I haven't tried that one yet.  Also, I found a handy tutorial for using 120 film for 620 format cameras, in case you are ever in the same jam I was in!

New Year, New Adventures

Recently, Juliette visited me in New Hampshire.  It was a great way to start off the new year!! We had many adventures and completed many DIY projects!! Tutorials will be up in the coming weeks for the projects.  Anyway, it was lovely going off on this particular adventure.  It began to snow partway through, and we managed to capture some of the flurries in a few pictures.  After our adventure we had a lunch of peanut butter & brown sugar sandwiches, strawberries, and peppermint patties for a small dessert.

I love my best friend's eyes

All pictures of me taken by Juliette

I am wearing a peplum shirt, skirt with small pleats (both from Forever 21), black flats, a sweater and thigh-highs borrowed from Juliette.  She's wearing a sweater, infinity scarf, velvety pants (which I also own, and am actually wearing right now because they're just so comfy!), Nine West boots, and a DIY hand harness.  I'm also wearing a fur vest from H&M, sparkly shirt I got for Christmas, jeans, oxfords from Forever 21, and a watch from Urban Outfitters.
