I've learned more than I could've imagined from a little brown box that I stumbled upon in a charity shop. To experience shooting with a 100yo Brownie really is special, highlighting the history, tech and craft of photography 📷

A black and white photo of a pub on the beach. The sky is white with the sun reflecting off the sea to the right of the image. The pub sits to the left of the image, facing the sea, with a large pebble beach in the foreground and groynes running across the beach. Photo taken on Kodak Brownie No.2

The low price of the camera in the early 20th Century (around £25 today) made photography more accessible than ever. The 120 film format was introduced for use with the Kodak Brownie, and allows up to 8 shots per roll

A black and white photo on the sea front. A boardwalk stretches into the distance, to the right of the path, there are beach huts and old houses with large bay windows. To the left, a pebble beach divided by groynes. An old boat sits in the foreground of the image, weathered and leaning on its side. Photo taken on Kodak Brownie No.2

I bought this camera on a whim. At the time, I didn't know if film was available or if it was even working. Spoiler - it worked! I took the next photos this year, 2025, on a Kodak Brownie No.2 manufactured between 1919 and 1924

A black and white film photo of a pub. A person stands in the doorway. Shadows of buildings create an interesting shape on the road and a small car stands at the junction in front of the pub. Photo taken on Kodak Brownie No.2

A bit of a closer look (maybe too close 👾) #birds #gull
A heavily cropped look at a gull in flight carrying a pipefish.
