Kodak No. 2A Folding Pocket Brownie Camera
One of 6 (the one I liked the best) exposures taken of my 60+ year old favorite model in an local old barn using the
100+ year old Kodak No. 2A Folding Pocket Brownie Camera. Neither of the two tripod sockets on the amera were that sturdy and there was no provision for my cable release. I think I may have moved the camera setting off the shutter...But, still.... here it is.
Love the tiny bit of motion in the scene. Very nicely done.
I personally don't do nude photography. I am easily suseptible for colds. :-)
Nicely done photo by the way!.
Like it all - story and photo.
May I make another comment. Probably because of the lens and the film, your excellent photo
definelty has a Pictorialist look to it. That is a good thing.
what a great idea, classic camera and model! I got rid of all my old cameras when I downsized my home. the model looks gorgeous, I love black and white nudes, did you do the developing? I really remember with great fiondness spending hours in the darkroom getting just the effects I wanted. I suppose you could try Topaz to see if changing the resolution would make the image better or worse?
Please share others from the shoot.
What!! any out of focus is not the fault of the Kodak No. 2A Folding Pocket Brownie Camera. These cameras were feats of engineering... stood tall for their time and perhaps even now. I am impressed by the view finder which would be useful for many of our compact cameras that rely on a screen image useless in the sun. History and views of this camera:

The scientist/engineer in my being forgot to mention how youthful this 60 y o model is... and to thank DIRTY HARRY for using this historic "compact camera" to show us a glimpse of history.

thanks for adding the information. so the photographer guessed the distance, and there was really no way to check the focus? The camera depended upon DOF to capture an image in focus. That is fascinating.
Yes, the model looks gorgeous, one can only wonder what the other images from the shoot are like.
