An old way

...tracks on the breakwater, Port Kembla.

Taken with 1934 Baby Box Brownie on 127 size Bluefire Murano 160 film.

The camera was given to me by a local member of the community who knows I collect cameras. He had been given the camera when he was eight years old, was now 60, and wanted it to go to a good home. Lots of fine dust in the camera, which hadn't been used for around 50 years, and a little vignetting around the edges.
Very cool!

Great leading lines. It might be old and dusty but it still works well though

Wonderful perspective... like the depth created by the long view... my Mom had a Brownie camera, and now the camera is with me. It just sits on a shelf in a cabinet that holds many memories for me from my childhood... Monkees trading cards, Snoopy lunch box, Polaroid Swinger camera, first grade reading book, etc. Surprised how good the image is from your camera (I'm sure the skill lies in the hands of the photographer, not the camera though!)

I'm amazed at the detail evident in old family photos taken with a box brownie when scanned. Saw things I had not noticed in the print.

Quite remarkable how good the image is and how 365 recognises the camera!

Excellent shot! Would like to see a photo of the camera. :)

The interesting construction material of this breakwater makes a good photo, and the tracks add perspective.

Interesting perspective. Like the leading lines and lighting.

great scene and how great to be given such a old loved camera - it's gone to the best home it could have for sure!
