I picked up this little booklet," Kodakery", a number of years ago at a flea market near Hickory, NC. A monthly publication of Eastman Kodak and dated Oct. 1923. A purchase of an Eastman Brownie at that time entitled you to a one year subscription to Kodakery. ( A typical Brownie camera of that time is pictured below.)
I've been an avid camera enthusiast for a long time and I once was a member of the Catawba Valley Camera Club of Hickory, NC. A wonderful group of people who really take photography seriously. I learned a lot and enjoyed my time with them. I must say photography has changed immensely over the years.
I have a son who is a professional photographer who lives in Houston, TX. I often wonder how he ever got involved in photography. World's Great Photographer.
This a what a typical Brownie Camera of 1923
Looks like. The bellow construction continued until
WWll.
A far cry from the digital camera of today.

That is so neat. I like old things and people. And you didn't think your son was paying any attention to you.

How cool is that photo of the magazine! Hey, can I save a copy of it and use it in my art? I will give you credit. Please-pretty-please?
Love looking at old cameras. And I lurked extensively on Nash's website when I was trying to find Peggy. He's very good. :-)
