Inherited from my father-in-law, George Lee, this camera has been in the family for over 50 years. George bought the camera in the early 1960s and passed on to my sons Mason and Nash, inspiring the passion of film photography beginning in their teen years. I have restored the camera and lovingly take photos, each shutter click in remembrance of my late father-in-law.

Super Drone

05 May 2015 7 4 672
The D-21 served as a supersonic snoop launched at high altitude from a M-21 aircraft. It was designed to carry a single high-resolution photographic camera over a pre-programmed path, then release the camera module into the air for retrieval, followed by the drone’s self-destruction. So, this is actually a very sophisticated disposable camera created in 1962 ! This photo was taken from a Hasselblad 500C medium format film camera with a Carl Zeiss Distagon 1:4 f=50mm T* lens using Kodak Portra 160 film, scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
