Elder-Redo

This historical marker details about the man who founded Eldorado, Illinois.

 

Taken with my ninety-first camera. It was almost impossible to get to use this camera. Film is no longer made for it by anyone and nobody even makes the special "J" battery it takes. But I said almost impossible. I happened to have an old, empty instant film cartridge these used and was able to put some cut-down 120 film into it and get it to work. The things we photographers have to do sometimes!
