Did I ever show you this Kodak Disc roll of wedding photos?

That time Ansco got into the Kodak Disc fad and put out the Fiesta-Tele in a waterproof case. A telephoto lens on a Kodak Disc and a waterproof case both seem a bit extra. But a bit of research shows Ansco dove in hard and also produced the 350, HR15, Cadet, and Memo cameras for that film format.
Truly extra is the time they made product premiums for Swanson pot pies. 😂

Today is National Camera Day.
The Brownie camera was a basic cardboard box camera with a simple convex-concave. It made a sensation when Eastman Kodak released it in 1900. This cheaply produced camera was extremely affordable and simple to use. It allowed anyone to pick up a camera and shoot, thus the birth of the snapshot for the masses.

My strange and growing obsession with the Kodak Disc during pride is like what the full moon is like to werewolves I think

It wasn’t just Kodak that made Disc cameras... Minolta jumped into the game for a minute. Disc film hasn’t been available since 1999.

January 28, 1986
My grandparents lived in Melbourne Beach, FL, in a condo on A1A. The morning of the last Challenger launch, my grandmother decided to take her new Kodak Disc camera outside to capture some photos of the launch. My grandfather decided to stay inside and watch it on TV.
Grandma (we called her "Hunkie" - which is another story altogether) went out and got the shots, then came back into the condo and said to Grandpa ("Papa"):
"F.M. - I got pictures of the launch, but something didn't look right."
Papa replied, "Well I guess not - it just blew all to hell!"
---
To this day, these are the eeriest photos I know of the Challenger disaster. Perhaps it's because of the personal connection.
These photos are 37 years old, from a low-end consumer camera. They're grainy, they're not very well color balanced (probably due to the age), but they are nonetheless striking. Just a casual observer, taking photos of a launch happening miles and miles to her north.

The Kodak Disc camera debuted in 1982, but couldn't live up to its promise. Here's the story. - Click Americana
