Cameras


Growing up, as in any family, in the 60's and 70's, my parents took pictures.

Often there was not enough money to get those pictures developed. I remember taking a drawer full of rolls of film to get developed for my parents.

Anyways, this was the camera of choice for my parents.  I remember it well. A Brownie Hawkeye camera.

I saw one in an antique store recently, which kind of jogged my memory.  I didn't even know the name, but there it was.  A quick search and it seems there are lots of them for sale online..with some folks even still insisting it is their camera of choice for snapping photos!

Alas, our camera disappeared through the years. But it's another one of those memories of my family growing up.
