Flash Photography
Posted on November 13th, 2009 by --Deb
Dad found these in his dresser when he was cleaning it out. Not only is it an interesting little bit of photographic archaeology. (Who else remembers flashbulbs? And look at the price! Only $1.29 for the box.)
But the really surprising part? My Dad does NOT take pictures. Except for one, brief Polaroid camera aberration, he basically hasn’t voluntarily taken a picture since childhood, when he used to develop his own film. He’ll take pictures when you ask him to, you understand, and he’ll do a perfectly fine job. But … to have flash bulbs in his dresser?
Well, really, it tells you how long it’s been since he’s HAD a camera, huh?

Oh, of course I remember those. Each bulb burnt out when it was used and it rotated to the next fresh one. I think I saw a package at my parent’s house last time I was there.

I remeber flash cubes! My sister and I used to take apart the used ones and make ice buckets for our Barbie dolls…hadn’t thought of that in years. Thanks for bringing back good memories.
