Louise

I bought a Polaroid Super Shooter Plus (circa 1976) at this place Wednesday for $5. It had been hanging in a corner covered by purses and such so long that it had 1/4 inch think coat of dust on it. Dessie gave me a rag to take outside and clean it off. The shutter doesn't work so it was a donation. Dessie said she had more cameras at home and would bring them in. So I went by Thursday and it was closed. Went again today and she hadn't brought them. I'd taken my 4 x 5 Crown Graphic and the Polaroid back with me and asked to photograph her and she adamantly refused. She's 84. Said she didn't have her makeup on. So I went up to Louise, her younger sister who was sitting out front, and she said go right ahead and take her picture. So I did a couple of b/w 4 x 5 Polaroids and this frame ttv.

Louise says she's 80. The third sister says no way.
