Instamatic Project {Tulsa art photography}













I love garage sales and thrift stores and all things vintage. And of course I love photography, so when I'm spending early Saturday mornings digging through other people's old stuff, I always love finding vintage cameras. I found this Kodak Instamatic at a garage sale with an unopened roll of 126 film, all just for $5. I immediately purchased it and brought it home. It sat untouched in the case for awhile, but July 4th weekend I finally pulled it out and for the first time in about 5 years I loaded film into a camera. Kodak Instamatic film is no longer produced, so I knew my 12 frames were precious. I've taken the camera with me on a few outings and as of yesterday I finally clicked the final frame. It's a nice feeling, to manually advance the film, press the shutter and have no idea how the photo turned out. I don't know how this film was kept over the years, so the pictures might not turn out so great. There's only one place in Tulsa that develops 126 film on site, hopefully I'll be dropping the film off to be developed next week. How did we manage before digital??? Once I get the film developed, I'll post the results here....no matter how they turn out!
