Great historical info! Thanks - maybe Gary Powers got released because Land showed them how to make a camera(?).

Liberated from time's vault.

Here's a small mix of some of the old Polaroids from my own shoebox, dating back to the 1960's of my first wife. I had a model 180 at the end of my Polaroid days, a pro model with a magnificent lens and manual shutter and iris controls. Then, I graduated to doing my own color slide work in my darkroom which opened up a whole new world of photography for me. Thankfully, I had a more than willing wife as a model among other ladies I've met in the past. So, without further ado, here are some of mine for your viewing pleasure. As always, there may be a number of reposts since my filing system sucks and I have so many it's impossible for me to remember what's been posted here and elsewhere.

I'll also add some of my other home darkroom work to this thread as a way of saying thanks to "doubleyew" for having the thread for us all to enjoy.

I did a fair bit of colour and b/w photography myself, mostly of European travels but also some of nude female models. I still have my cameras: a Kodak Brownie, Leica, 2 Zeiss Ikons, 2 Practikas, a Contax, a cheap Polaroid, and a Voigtlander Perkeo. Thanks for posting your photos. I can't wait to see the rest! :-)

Pixelated pets.

Another bit of nostalgia.

Polaroids -- as she was then, and other more recent photos.
