BULL’S – EYE 1954-1960
6×9 cm on 620 film. A rock-hard bakelite camera with a screwed on metal face and focusing Twindar lens. Camera doubles as a weapon.
Some photographs that pop out of ancient cameras are truly amazing. Consider the fact that this is old Kodacolor-X film, processed in black and white chemistry and taken with a cheap camera and flash.
This old shot has all the elements of a perfect family photograph. A photograph that this family never saw. Somehow it avoided the many hazards the rest of the roll fell prey to.
This is what happens when roll film sticks to its paper backing.
Stephanie Siek of The Boston Globe helped me with this found film.
