Happy SUNday! – Do you remember your first Kodak Instamatic?

June 9, 2024June 9, 2024Chris and Carol 1 Comment

My first Instamatic was from Christmas 1963 or 64.

October 1967 at Rhinebeck, New York. My Instamatic was my camera phone back in the day (always with me)..

The Instamatic 104 with its amazing flashcube.

How many millions of these were sold? If you were a child of the 1960s and ’70s then your life was recorded in the little squares these cameras produced. Thanks for stopping by, Chris

One of my first cameras – Kodak Instamatic

Poster: Rendez-vous à Montréal—Bring your camera! / Affiche : Rendez-vous à Montréal – Apportez votre appareil!

So 1960s!

I still have the camera and somewhere I have my Expo 67 Passport. I was 13 years old when me and my mom went. We stayed in an apartment in Montreal for two weeks – lots of fond memories.

Technically my first camera. I got it for Christmas 1963 and I’ve taken hundreds of images with this thing over the early years. It still works!

Thanks for stopping by! – Chris

Me on top of New York! Well, almost.

On top of Whiteface Mountain, Wilmington, N.Y. near Lake Placid.

The original image on Kodak Kodacolor Instamatic film. The square pics of my youth.

Whiteface Mountain hosted the alpine portion of the Winter Olympics in 1932 and 1980.

At Whiteface Mountain in 1960 – mom’s got a good hold on me with no seat straps.
