I find these pictures surreal too - I wish I knew the location. I would guess some roadside attraction where they had domesticated the deer. These appear to be from a family road trip in 1958, but the location is bound to remain a mystery to me.

Good morning. It's a rainy Saturday here and I'm regretting yesterday's decision to take pictures of the leaves instead of raking them before they got soggy.

It's just a shell of what it was. I've been wrapping up the process of deleting tweets, and this is what most of the pages I hit look like now:

This is the other interesting camera I found when digging through the camera box: a 1957 Kodak Duaflex IV.

When I opened it up to take pictures, I discovered that it appears to have film in it. Can someone from the #BelieveInFilm crowd tell me if this looks like it's already been exposed?

I'm stuck wondering what happened to the negatives from this camera. I found a handful of odd-sized negatives in our archive - larger than 120, inconsistently sized (probably physically cropped). Maybe they were shot with this camera. Going to have to ask the cousins if they have any old negatives.

Do you remember any of the authors? My Mom loved romance novels. We've probably got around 3000 or so paperbacks boxed up. 99% of them aren't worth enough to sell. I inventoried them during the pandemic, so it's easy to search if you're looking for anything specific.

I guess this was probably my Great-Grandfather's camera. It was stuck in my Mom's nostalgia trunk for years. I moved it to the box with the camera stuff & forgot about it.

I have no idea how I would even go about using this to take pictures. Maybe a future project.

Still waiting on Amazon, so I decided to pull out the camera box to see what we hung on to over the years that might work for the #ShittyCameraChallenge

This was a surprise - it appears to be a 1921 Folding Pocket Kodak No. 3A.

Meant to respond to this & got distracted! I haven't gotten around to scanning or photographing the books yet... hopefully soon. I'm currently trying to determine if old teacups are worth anything. It's tough to figure out what to do with some of the things you inherit!

You ever come across something from your childhood that you're stunned you forgot about? This slide was at this playground when I was in preschool.

Found this in my Twitter data file download when I was sorting through the media folder.

Disc film is my nominee for worst film format ever. Between the grainy little 8mm negatives and the difficulty scanning them, it was by far my least favorite film format in the family archive. #ShittyCameraChallenge

Heads up if you use or follow custom feeds: if there are users missing from these feeds, it might be due to your language settings. (I didn't realize this setting existed.)

If you're following a lot of international users, they might be missing from your feeds unless you update these settings.

I requested my data file from Twitter so I could finish deleting my content. Something weird that they do is include all of the media you ever retweeted. I ended up with a folder full of your artwork - some of my favorites!
