620 Pinhole Experiment, Lincoln Mark V Poster On The Freezer In My Bedroom, 1977

620 Pinhole Experiment, Lincoln Mark V Poster On The Freezer In My Bedroom, 1977
I found this envelope of 620 negatives and, for the life of me, cannot remember anything about the camera I used to take them. I'm thinking it must have been a homemade one because if I had just converted one of my old Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash cameras to a pinhole camera, the images would have been situated on the negatives differently. A Brownie Hawkeye's film transport is vertical, that is, the film is at the top and spools downwardly to the bottom. These negatives are all left to right spooled, so that seems to rule out a Brownie Hawkeye camera conversion. None of my other 620 cameras spool left to right so I'm left in the dark as what I used to take the pictures.

Another clue that it might have been a homemade jobby was that the negatives show a serious light leak at both the top and the bottom of the strips. Also, from looking at the images, it looks like I got the hole too big. The images are all a little blurry and not very focused. Back in 1977 when I shot these, (1977 is most likely indicated), I probably considered the test to have been a failure. Now, they're just semi-interesting curiosities.

Camera: Unknown
Film: Kodak Safety Film 6014, 100 ASA 620 color film
Date: 1977 (?)
Location: Norris City, Illinois, U.S.A.

This picture is the way it looked straight out of the camera. What could I do to it anyway to improve it? It's beyond all help.
