Flashback 1984: "Mom in DC"

Found this in one of my really early files. A shot of my Mom
from 1984, using my camera at the time, the Kodak Disc 4000 camera.

The Kodak Disc Camera was a (then) "futuristic" design, took this miniature
"wheel-like" film and was ultimately, a flop. Look at that "fat" grain!

In looking back, I almost can't believe this image is nearly 30 years old,
and man, you can best believe that this young man is feelin' old tonight! :)

Kodak Disc 4000

other sizes: small medium original auto

I had forgotten about that camera. I had one myself and now I am compelled to start pulling boxes out of the attic for some memories of my own. Great, Sam. ~V~
