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

Chris and Carol 1 Comment
My first Instamatic was from Christmas 1963 or 64.
Early Kodak advertisement.
Still going strong in 1967.

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

Spad XIII
Fokker D-7
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

Fun with a classic digicam.

Canon PowerShot A40 from 2002.

The image below is a straight-from-the-camera shot with this awesome little digicam.

Full auto exposure. Great color and, at 2 megapixels, good resolution.

My mom, Mary, December 1960 (and me with my first of many cameras).

My mom and my other mom (mother-in-law) Gladys in 1982 (below).

Gladys and Mary – missing them both.
