Old camera from the NEW Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull





So my family and I went to see the NEW Indiana Jones tonight and it was Awesome. It brought back tons of old fun memories that I have from the previous 3 movies. We had a blast! We even bought the Indiana Jones popcorn bucket for life. It's a huge bucket for $8 and you can refill it as many times and as often as you like for .50 cents. Can you say heart attack! But not if you are reasonable, right? So I'm not a big fan of giving away any info on movies before you see them, pet peeve and I think it takes away the magic! But...@ the end of the movie you'll see someone using the Kodak Brownie Hawkeye and I won't tell you who is using this camera. I'd love to see you post it, if you spot it.
The Kodak Brownie Hawkeye was well known for being one of the best square film cameras of it's time. Kodak released it in the fall of 1950 and stopped manufacturing it in the summer of 1961. It takes 620 roll film, better known as 2 1/4 by 2 1/4. The model that I have from my vintage collection is the flash model. Unfortunately I don't have the flash but if I find one. I'll post it :)
Image above shot with 1D Mark III + Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro. Camera on the left was shot hand held with available room light @ 1/80th, 2.8, 3200 ISO. Camera on the right has been cross-processed, because I love it that way!

The wait for a new camera is over! 1D Mark III

So I have been waiting for a 5D replacement for months now, but that wait is over! My good friend Kenneth Linge was about to eBay his 1D Mark III and he gave me a buzz before he put it up for bidding. I was so happy he called me and stoked to pickup a killer light writer like this! I literally shot 3 or 4 frames into an engagement and my decision was made. Wow this camera ROCKS!

OZZY edition :)

My first camera

This is my very first camera. It's an ITT magicflash 110 camera. I can't find much info on it but I know that this camera was made in Hong Kong between 1960-'68. It was a gift from my Mom back in 1984, I was 10 years old. How funny, I still have this old dog. Cameras have come light years since the 110 days. Thanks again Mom!
