Made in Germany
around 1949. There were five versions of the Bilora Box. Some had a
flash synch and another had a "focussing" lens. Momentary
and Bulb shutters and two lens openings (f11 and F16) round out this
all-metal camera.

Fog is my favorite weather event.
The conditions that produce fog agree with me. Cloudy, calm with warm
airborne moisture. Ideal fishing and photography conditions.
Fog stifles sound so it's always quiet. Forms blur like they do
under a dark cloth as you compose on a ground glass. There is a feeling
of unreality and it's easy to hide from the world.
The familar turns strange and somewhat threatening.
