Kodak Six 20 Brownie D

Never noticed this antique piece before. This time Ani took it out and daddy demonstrated how to take a pic in it. The camera film is not (Kodak 620 roll, Box roll film) available now, but daddy has kept a wax paper  on the film mount, which projects the image, when clicked.

Unlike this age cameras, the functionality is very simple. I was amazed by the technological improvement while looking at that camera. A small box will a couple of lens and view finders. And there is an option to adjust the ISO for night and day. That was really amazing. Can take six pics from a roll of film.

The top view finder is to take vertical pictures, while the right side one for horizontal layout. 

Then Ani's grandma told me that grandpa was very much interested in photography. There was even a dark room in that house. He clicks and wash the film. 

There's an album with all the pics he clicked on those days. Must say he is too awesome to be a photographer.

Below are few pics I clicked:

And when searched for this model in Google, I got some interesting facts about it.
