Norris City Community Museum

This is our local museum, located at the heart of downtown Norris City. Taken with an old Instamatic camera that was broken, but I figured out a way to get it to work - use it like a pinhole camera. Plus, I loaded 35mm film into an old 126 cartridge. Did I mention the film was expired as well?

 

Back in the 1940's, this building used to be a movie theater. It was about a block away from a train station and two hotels - none of which are there anymore.

 

This photo was taken with my thirty-seventh camera while taped to a tripod to hold it steady.
