Day 203
A very awesome person traded me pictures in return for this new (and extremely old) camera. It’s a 3A AUTOGRAPHIC KODAK and apart from getting it open, I have no clue what to do with it. I know it takes A-122 size film and that it’s from 1914, but that’s pretty much it. I like the way it looks. And that some random from 1914 used to own it and take pictures of the old people at nursing homes with it. Thank heavens for antique labels inside antique camera cases.
Inside of an Accordion
We're looking at the part of the accordion that is on the left side of the accordionist. The bellows and keyboard are detached and not shown. This is a twelve-button accordion with a bass set of reeds (large holes and large reeds) plus a set of major cords (triplet holes and smaller reed assembly). See notes on the picture.
This is the workshop of Vince Aleandri. It's the kind of workshop you see on TV when cameras go into a specialist's home and you find...nirvana.
