From Oregon to Massachusetts

<p>From the past to the present. <a href="http://westfordcomp.com/foundfilm/eileroregon/eilerogon.html">More found film.</a></p>

<p>Always very welcome.<br /> Thanks.<br /> I think the first roll of film I ever developed, in a tray by inspection under a safelight, was a roll of 620 Kodak Verichrome Safety Film (orthochromatic, introduced in 1931 and discontinued in 1956). Verichrome Pan replaced the orthochromatic version and that seems to have gone up to 1995 or so (- that's got to be one reason it is so common in your "sample").</p>

<p>Bright sun over the photographers left shoulder shots. The technique, as well as the film and camera, are Kodak classics. Thanks, Gene.</p>

<p>one of the first cameras I owned ( after the terrible leaky box camera I took to camp ranger in 1948)<br>

was matal bersion of the trapazoidal camera.<br>

it was terrible. the flash plugged in on the side with two straight pins. notjhing was plated and contact was erratic.<br>

when I would film I hears a loud scratching scraping noise.<br>

it was a puzzle to put back together.<br>

I am glad your found film camera is a better one.</p>

 

 

<p>Got a couple of unused rolls of Verichrome (expired 1970-ish) recently in a mixed bag of flashbulbs. I doubt the film will be usable for anything now though.</p>

<p>Gene, great job at saving those lost memories.</p>

<p>The Kennedy era...Love the bobbly sox and the cake-tin hat...Despite the shadow, that lady had a certain savoir faire about her...It seems so long ago that we had to "dress-up" for special occasions, on a regular basis, "best clothes" and all that...Great nostalgia,<strong> Gene</strong>, and that includes the Verichrome. Many thanks.</p>

<p>Gene - your found film treasures are always a trip back in time for me, reminding me of things long forgotten. Thanks.</p>

<p>JFK was our last great president Rick.</p>

<p>Short back and sides and Verichrome...I'm so glad that I was around in that time...well maybe a little later!<br>

Thanks again for the trip down memory lane.</p>

I beg your pardon Gene, but those awful Easter clothes are what we wear here in Bend, Oregon.

<p>Gene, your contributions to this forum are one of the primary reasons I keep coming back to it. That said, I must have missed your earlier presentation of the found images from the Brownie Flash Six-20. The photo of the mature couple at the front of their Chevrolet -- what a fabulous capture! So glad you recovered it to share with us. Thanks.</p>
