The ad introduced the then new Kodak SIX-20 line of cameras. A few years later, my <a href=\"https:\/\/phsc.ca\/camera\/my-dads-camera\/\">dad bought it&#8217;s less expensive junior version<\/a> to capture his first born (me).<\/p>\n<p>My thanks to my good friend and fellow PHSC member, George Dunbar, for sharing this advertisement with us. What a great reminder of the days when we relied on those terribly \u00a0slow old films and a snappy folder camera fresh from Kodak in Rochester or Kodak Heights in Mount Denis.<\/p>\n<p>My dad used his SIX-20 folder for most of his life. I later bought him a Polaroid and then an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Instamatic\">Instamatic<\/a>, but neither camera was as satisfying to him as his old folder! Oh, yes. All the best for a Happy Canada Day (Canada was established as a Dominion in 1867).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto. \u00a0This challenge may simply spark curiosity or indifference with the smart phone crowd, who shoot full colour indoors and out; be it sunny or gloomy; on subjects close and far (and all things in-between) then casually send the best &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/phsc.ca\/camera\/a-kodak-challenge-in-1934\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1944],"tags":[398,1292,21,4123,260],"class_list":["post-23561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-history","tag-camera","tag-canada-day","tag-kodak","tag-mount-denis","tag-rochester"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/phsc.ca\/camera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/phsc.ca\/camera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/phsc.ca\/camera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/phsc.ca\/camera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/phsc.ca\/camera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23561"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/phsc.ca\/camera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23561\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23565,"href":"https:\/\/phsc.ca\/camera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23561\/revisions\/23565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/phsc.ca\/camera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/phsc.ca\/camera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/phsc.ca\/camera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
