A little family history

Today I received a box in the mail from my uncle in Louisiana. In it was my grandfather's old Agfa 35mm camera that he bought in Germany when he was stationed there during the Korean War. I've seen hundreds of little 4x5 prints that he took during the war and of his kids and family before and after, but I never would've thought that we still had the camera. As far as I can tell, it's still functional, but I'm happy to have it nonetheless, as I never met my grandfather. It's an interesting thing to hold and know all that someone else has seen through its lens, and wonder where you might take it next.

What a great story!
Love the glow and aura of the photos of the camera. They really begin to tell a story about the camera witnessed. Will we see more?
