This picture is from a roll of old film that was left unfinished in an old Kodak Instamatic 104 camera. I developed it a couple days ago. It was in an old 126 film cartridge and was Kmart brand Focal color print film. The speed of the film, 80 ASA, dates it to no later than the mid-1970s, so these pictures were probably taken in the late-1960s or early-1970s. The images were all seriously degraded in this manner, but I could see enough to tell the styles were from that period as well. Found film that is this old very rarely turns out with good, clear results. But, it is interesting to see pictures that people took but never finished shooting the roll to find out how they turned out. It looks like this girl was graduating from high school and was the class Salutatorian, according to the sash around her neck.

This is what a brand new Kodak Instamatic 104 must have cost - $12.66. At least it did at Kmart. This was the last frame on this roll of film, so I just finished developing it tonight.

This mural is located in Marion, Illinois. They are sporting several murals all over their town and it really improves the looks of their city. This was taken with an old Kodak Instamatic camera. I reused an old 126 film cartridge and reloaded it with modern 35mm film - 35mm and 126 film are the same size, just different perforations.

This photo is of my grandfather’s grave. His name was John Dewey William McKinley Wright and he died before I was born, so I never got to meet him. My girlfriend found an old Instamatic camera for my collection and got it because it had a roll of film in it. It had been loaded and wound to the first frame, but since it sat in the camera for around 40 years, the first frame and a half had possibly (probably) been exposed many times. I shot the roll and developed it today to see if I any pictures on the roll turned out. They were quite faded and suffered heavy color shift, but I got useable images! The roll was in a Kodak Instamatic 154 when she bought it, but I transferred it to a Kodak Instamatic 104 that I’ve had for awhile and been wanting to shoot with.
