Six-20 Brownie Junior Antique Camera

The Six-20 Brownie Junior may not taste as good as a chocolate desert, but it sure did take some gorgeous photographs back in its day. Below are some shots of the EASTMAN KODAK Co. Six-20 Brownie Junior (1934 – 1942) with the art-decó face. The camera belonged to my grandfather, Douglas Morom.

According to Camerapedia.org, “The Six-20 Brownie Junior remains faithful to the principles which made the success of Brownies but it improves the way this camera is manufactured. The paperboard remains the main component but metal (almost) replaced wood for the body. This camera manufactured in US has been proposed with two different front faces : black front face and art-decó face. No diaphragm on this simple camera. The aperture, which consists of two holes, is selected by pulling a tab on top of the camera.”

Opening Night at the Show

Ever been a fan of looking through your Grandma’s old photo album and just admiring the look and feel of each print? A friend of mine took part in a local theatre performance in St. Jacobs, Ontario called A DOLLAR. I brought along a camera to do some portraits of her.

After the play was done, went out for some deserts and coffee. I shot these images while she was still in full character makeup and costume from the set. The addition of the antique processng set the stage for the romantic portrait series.

Filmstrip of Us

My lively Stephen and I did this little filmstrip series while on a winter walk in downtown Kitchener, Ontario back in 2007. Steve did a great job adding an antique feel to the series. I shot the images simply by holding my arm out into the air and luckily aiming in our direction with a wide angle lens. We had no additional lighting for this series. Since Steve and I are always behind the cameras, it was great to have some shots of us in together! This filmstrip is one of my favourite shots of us.
