The Coronet Captain

I bought this camera because it has a green and red face and that's good enough reason for me. Colored faces on box cameras are very rare actually. This British camera has a closeup lens and a yellow filter. You engage these advanced features by pulling little levers on the side of the camera out. The Brits must have very strong fingernails. The shutter was frozen but a few drops of lighter fluid brought it back to life. The Captain produces 6x9 negatives on 120 film

Somebody should do a book about Drive-Ins like Cindy's in Granby MA. They're real dinosaurs. Garish and without the slightest intent of good taste, they are beautiful. Two cheeseburgers, some fries, a Coke and some soft serve strawberry ice cream. To hell with my cardiologist.
