Some home-made darkroom photos that look like they were taken at the YMCA to me. I've darkened the images because they were faded but the fingerprints I can't help. Update - the consensus is that this is an early polaroid, the kind you wiped with a fixative.
Looks like early Polaroid. the fingerprint is on the finishing solution with which they were wiped to preserve the image. That also causes the streaks at top and bottom. I'm an old person.
ReplyDeleteI wonder just how old these are. He's uncirked...
ReplyDeleteprobably early 60s
DeleteI concur with the Polaroid suggestion - I worked in a camera store early 60s and have seen that same effect on the fast Polaroid black and white film - Polaroid came out with a really nice color film around that time which was much slower but did not require the fixative - those color pics I did back in the early 60s are as vibrant as the day I took them (I still have a Polaroid 160 camera in a suitcase out in the garage)
