[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was one of the first few photos I took when I bought my Kodak 280 digital camera. We were visiting friends in Cardiff, South Wales, and I was trying all different shots with the new camera. This was using the sepia option. Showing my new digital camera to our friends, prompted the husband to go into his attic and bring down two old Kodak brownies, which gave me the idea of taking a shot of the progression of the Kodak camera. However, I could not include my own camera in the shot, but did rescue the box from the rubbish bin, and set it up with the other two.

This looks like a perfect family portrait.
Good idea to use a sepia tone, as it adds to the oldy worldy feeling. Nicely composed, and good sharpness. Well done.

I really like this. It's a three-generation photo, only of cameras rather than people. I like your thinking and I like how it's black and white.

Hello Joan
What a nostalgic flaskback to George Eastman's era perturbed by the "nec-plus-ultra" 2MP futuristic camera!!
My grandmother took pictures of us, kids, many years ago with such a square box and she had to advance the film carefully to avoid overlaps! The sepia toning enhances the old-age mood.
Take care.
Robert
