The stack by peterdegraaff

The stack

...of the old Port Kembla copper smelter which is about to be demolished.

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.
Wow--pretty amazing for a camera that age! Neat that he kept it all those years and gave it to you. Wish I had some of the old cameras my aunt, uncle and mother used.

Way sharper than I thought it would be. Isn't that just a simple lens? There can't be much of that film around either, but the color is very good.
