Layers of Memory
Shot with an Empire Baby camera, which is a 127-format, half-frame, plastic-bodied camera made in the 1950s that sold for about 60 cents back then. (I bought it on eBay for about $35.) Efke 100 (127 film), the only b&w film still produced in this format. Home-developed with HC-110 in a Paterson universal tank. Overlapping double exposure made by holding the camera vertically, shooting the top of the scene, advancing the film less than the full amount, then shooting the bottomhalf of the scene. The instructions on the box suggest having a subject that is 5 to 15 feet away, but this subject was about 100 yards away, which may account for some of the lack of sharpness. The dark squares superimposed at the top are on the paper backing and burned through due to light from the red view window.
