The 1957 Sawyer’s Nomad 620 gets my vote for the ugliest camera ever produced. This particular specimen raises the ugly bar. Even so, it produced the miraculous things called photographs.
Ten minutes before eight on some evening in the sixties.
Granny appears to be ready to pounce on the potato salad. She’s got a fork in her right hand. I hope no one was injured.
There appears to be some early use of refrigerator magnets in this shot. These people were cutting edge.
The guy at the left has a Mister “T” starter set around his neck. An early bling, really. The relaxed grip on his bottle indicates years of experience.
That’s granny sitting under the bell collection.
The heavy use of hair spray and the proximity of the candles caused a coiffure conflagration immediately after this photograph was taken.
That young fella seems to be enjoying himself. I don’t blame him.
The camera had no flash . The photographer used auxiliary lighting. Well done !
The obligatory “Fouling Of The Cake”
The obligatory “Forgetting To Advance The Film” shot.
The obligatory “Finger Over The Lens Or Something” shot. No matter. It’s a nice photo.
The following were from the Bell and Howell camera.
“House of Tomorrow.”
“Go Stand Over There, Honey”
