Hasselblad 500C

Inherited from my father-in-law, George Lee, this camera has been in the family for over 50 years. George bought the camera in the early 1960s and passed on to my sons Mason and Nash, inspiring the passion of film photography beginning in their teen years. I have restored the camera and lovingly take photos, each shutter click in remembrance of my late father-in-law.
