CNM staff photographer Wade Faast spent the week working with a camera that has been around longer than CNM. Instead of the modern digital camera, Wade took all the pictures seen here with a camera made in 1939 using film that expired in 1956.
Camera: Graflex Speed Graphic 2×3 Press Camera
Lens: Graflex Optar 101mm F4.5
Film: Kodak Pancrhomatic Super-XX
