TFS! I love looking at old photos! I love looking at ones like this, all the style of the decor, her hair, what she is wearing, wondering what our kids will look back at for us!

There is something so absolutely rad about a mother whose shoes match the living room pillows. She was *stylin.* And you were adorable.
Happy Mother's Day!!!

Happy belated Mother's Day!

My childhood photos are all square and dated like that. I doubt, however, that my mom would be able to tell me the camera model. I'll give it a whirl, though.

Hmmm, could this be 127 film?? Not completely sure

But I love the vintage nostalgia here. Lovely, lovely image...

My photos from babyhood are very similar to this - maybe they just processed all of them like that?

great photo -- love moms hair! :)

i have an album full of photos from my parents like these, with the same date stamp and line at the top. i think it's a printing mark and not from the camera, although i don't have any of the negatives to be sure. the camera most of them came from was a Brownie, which i think took 127.

I'm under the impression that this is 126 film as it is square, and 127 or 120 would most likely not be. That you see the date on it is a function of the lab that printed it, not the film or camera.

Here is a link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/126_film

Cameras using this film were typically inexpensive and used a square flashbulb on the top.

thanks, richard. I do remember the flashbulbs, but remember calling them flashcubes~ they emmitted smoke and were stinky when fired. I forgot about that until you just reminded me.

Depending on the camera, 127 film is either 4.4cm square (12exp) or 4.4x6.5cm (8 exp) - - I use the film... Same for 120 film - - depending on the camera used it's square or rectangle - - however, this doesn't appear to be medium format / 120. Most likely 126 or 127.
