I brought my 1940's Kodak Hawkeye Brownie with me to New York. I still enjoy experimenting with vintage cameras and film and I like using something super simple sometimes. I shot two rolls - Kodak TMax 100, which came out exposed pretty nicely, and a long expired roll of Fuji NPS 160 color negative film which has the exact vintage look you would expect. The key with these old Kodak box cameras is to hold them really still - I would guess the shutter is around 1/50th so its easy to introduce blur in the shots. I lost a few images to that....
This is the camera.
Flatiron Building
The oldest statue in NYC
Manhattan Bridge
Tourists
UN
If you don't pay attention to the buildings that are in the color photos they really like like they could have been taken at any time since color film became widespread.
