Here’s a fun thing to do.  Well, I think it’s fun.  Most people I talk to just give me an odd look when I tell them about “found film”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occasionally on eBay you’ll see a listing for “exposed film” from an unknown age and camera.  Or, like what happened to me, you’ll find a roll that has inadvertently been left inside an old camera.  And then you wonder what memories might have been captured by someone, maybe half a century ago, and simply forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here’s a roll we found inside an old Ansco B2 Cadet.  This is a box camera manufactured in the 1940s – no telling when the photos were taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were only a few good photos on the roll, likely due to age.  Back then you would snap 8 pictures I guess, and just hope for the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the case, the one little guy seems pretty proud of that hat.  I would be too – it’s pretty snazzy!  And I love how they used the rule of thirds, even way back then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
