Over a century of photographic history! My No. 10 Folding Ansco Special dates to the early 1900s, with a Wollensak Optimo shutter patented in 1910. And yes, the shutter still works! Celebrating Autumn Folder Camera Week. #BelieveinFilm #folderweek

This is so exciting that the deadline is approaching. We can’t wait to see all the submissions. #halfframe #wwhfd #believeinfilm

Another folding camera from my collection: the British-made Ensign Selfix 12-20. A compact design with a Ross London Xpres lens, tucked away behind a folding front. Celebrating Autumn Folder Camera Week! What folders are hiding in your collection? #BelieveInFilm #Folderweek

A little photographic engineering! Folding cameras use collapsible bellows to connect the lens to the camera body, allowing them to fold away when not in use. (Kodak Jiffy Six-16) Autumn Folder Camera Week is here! Bring out those old folders and share the fun. #FolderCameraWeek #BelieveInFilm

Sometimes the camera is as interesting as the photographs it makes. My Kodak Jiffy Six-16, with its beautiful Art Deco design, is one of those cameras. Celebrating Autumn Folder Camera Week! Show us your folders! #FolderCameraWeek #BelieveInFilm #kodak #ArtDeco

Happy WWHFD! 📷 Road to WWHFD • Sept. 5 📷 From old to new, simple to quirky, they each give me a different way of seeing half a frame. Still learning the Pentax 17. Sometimes we disagree, and sometimes it gives me exactly this. Half the size twice the fun! #WWHFD #HFF #HalfFrame #BelieveInFilm

Entourage is a classic all-black 1965 Lincoln Continental Convertible featuring suicide doors. In the show's universe, it is the signature ride driven by Johnny "Drama" Chase to cruise the streets of Los Angeles with Vince and the crew. #BelieveInFilm #HFF #FridayFavourites

Happy half frame Friday everyone! #hff We're less than a month away from Worldwide Half-frame Photography Day so it's time to start preparations. You'll need a half frame camera and some film. Beyond that just head out and make some photos. There's a whole week shooting window, not just the 1 day.

On 19 August each year, the world unites to celebrate this beautiful art on World Photography Day. Why does photography matter to you? Creativity Release? Storytelling? Remembering the past? Transforming the world? Bringing people together? #BelieveInFilm #Photography #WorldPhotographyDay

CA Route 66 - back in the 1930's & 40's the word "motel" (motor + hotel) became universally popular, these properties were designed specifically for early motorists. Very few are still operational. Pentax 17 and Kodak Gold #believeinfilm #HFF #halfframefriday

When the road moved on. I took this image with the CMEHA SMENA 8M Camera and Lomography Lady Grey 35mm Film. I have been using this combo all year for the Frugal Project. #Route66 #BelieveInFilm #FilmPhotography

For #620Day I used my Vintage Kodak Brownie Reflex 20 Camera with FPP 620 Black and White Panchromatic Negative Film. In some of my images I got this ick in the sky. Reminds me of tightly rolled expired film. Any ideas on your end? It was a lovely morning at first light at the beach. #BelieveinFilm

127 Day is just days away. July 12 to be exact. I just got some new 127 color film and picked up this Yashica 44 camera. Looking forward to how this will turn out. Who’s in for #127Day #BelieveinFilm
