Just light enough
For me to still pick him up
And carry him up the stairs
On my hip
Just tall enough
That his head
Lays on my shoulder
Just so
Just young enough
To still want to cuddle
With his mommy
Before bed
I want to bottle these moments
Freeze them in time
Put them in an album
So I can relive these perfect hugs
When his lanky limbs have grown
Beyond carrying
Yes, I did. I bought three Imperial cameras in one trip to the antique mall last night, two of which are clearly identical but rebranded. The Chicago camera collective did plenty of that, but this is my first real example of it.
The two snapshot cameras take 620 film (i.e. 120 on a smaller spool) and the Lark takes 127 (aka Brownie) film. Both of those films are available nowadays, although the 127 is a bit more expensive, being that people don’t use Brownie snapshot cameras like they did some 60 years ago.
Looking forward to cleaning these up and testing them out!
