Back in the day, my parents ha...Beautiful cameras!<br /><br />Back in the day, my parents had a very simple camera: a Kodak Instamatic they bought sometime in the 1960s. This was a little and very sturdy piece of equipment, but being of the viewfinder kind, most of our photos from that era feature headless persons... and some nice closeups of my mom's fingers (she was the usual family photographer back then).<br /><br />Apparently my mom never quite got the hang of the viewfinder foibles. She always framed their scene perfectly through the little window and shot... only to discover, two weeks later when the processed photos arrived from the local Kodak store, that her Christmas photo memories consisted mainly of pictures of the relatives' attires. <br /><br />In later years, when she learned to use the camera a bit better, we started seeing faces in the photos... but no hairdos. Which is a pity; those 1960- early 1970s bird's nest dos were memorable!<br /><br />Those photos always remind me of the old Peanuts strips, where the only thing you ever saw of Charlie Brown's teacher was her body from the neck down.
