Ansco Cadet with dog and thundercloud

Oct 01, 2009 19:01



Ansco Cadet was simple 127 format camera with flash.
It had been popular throughout 60s, but this one had inside an exposed roll of Kodacolor II (production has started 1972).
There were 10 pictures on the roll:

















Here is the brief report on the subjects:
- an aged man with a vacuum (4 times);
- a dog (6 times)
- the two chairs(two times)
- a thundercloud or tornado(just one)

That's the story. The probability of photographer been aged is high and been female is even higher.
The guess is based on the choice of subjects, use of flash indoors and repetitive exposures of the same subjects.
Particularly I like the chairs been snapped twice with unmatched grace and dignity.
The quality of the last frame with tornado on the highway is different from others: the negative is too weak.
What had happened next and why the camera slipped into the fold of time for 35-years sleep we do not know and will not bother ourselves guessing.
