This week the Sepia Saturday suggestion was an easy task. LOST GALLERY has lots of people with cameras.
All of these pictures from LOST GALLERY are at LEAST fifty years old. But a couple of them are closer to a century in age. I bet you can spot which ones those are!
This guy is holding an Argus C-3, I think.
I think there are two cameras in this photograph.
While the clerk had his back turned, Vernon memorized the questions on the immigration form.
The girl on the left has a camera in her right hand.
Here's one that's REALLY about CAMERAS! It's a CAMERA shop!
The Jodhpur Gang
This girl really has her hands full.
Do you see it?
We are pretty sure this is a Leica A111 or a C111

I never doubted for a moment that you would have a load of photos to match this theme. We can always count on you.
ReplyDeleteYes, this was an easy one. I already had a category page set for People with Cameras that I published in 2011.
ReplyDeleteNot one shot of a Brownie Hawkeye!
I can see that you've already identified quite a few of the cameras pictured - I'm most impressed - but a trickier task is to identify the cameras with which these photographs were shot. Can you do that trick? I would be even more impressed by that!
ReplyDeleteA camera cavalcade! The mirror self portrait is such a classic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brett Payne. Well let’s see. The color snap of the guy in the graduation outfit was probably shot with a Brownie Hawkeye which had a square format.
ReplyDeleteThe guy in the army fatigues holding the Crown Graflex is the same guy holding the reflex camera in the photograph just above and to the right. It would be a good guess that one was shot with the other.
The mirror shot of the guy holding the Leica was shot with the Leica. But also this is on the same strip of negatives with the uniformed man squatting, holding the bellows camera so it is likely it was shot with that same Leica. That’s all I’m pretty sure of.
Thanks Mike Brubaker. The self-portrait is my favorite too. It came from a set of about 300 35mm negatives taken probably with that camera that I found in a dark cellar of a junk store. Nearly all of the photographs are of the aircraft and personnel of Bassingbourn Air Base during 1944 and 1945. It’s a treasury of artifacts from the Second World War.
Excellent effort. I think a lot of Instamatics had the square format too, and they were pretty common around the early 1970s.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brett Payne. You are right; it could be from a Kodak Instamatic. The Instamatics were introduced in 1972 and were very popular because of the compact size and easy cartridge loading. Although the negatives for these weren’t actually square (0.51 X 0.67 inch, in reality just converted 16mm film) they sometimes got printed that way by the photolabs at the time. Since the prints were actually enlargements, they could be masked to about any dimensions that were convenient.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I knew you were going to have a lot of photos for this prompt and you did not disappoint!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa Wilson Rogers. Yes this was an easy one. I had done a page of these a couple years ago so most of them were already rounded up. I just updated it and repeated it here.
