Polaroid Land Camera – Model 95 (2018-06-20 12-45-40a)
The Cracker Barrel Restaurant is located at 730 North Lyford Road in Rockford, Illinois.
The Polaroid Land Camera Model 95 was the first of the company’s instant picture cameras. It was introduced in 1948 and approximately 1.5 million of them were manufactured.
The photo was taken with a Nikon Coolpix P7700 camera and edited using Luminar 2018. I used the erase tool to get rid of a distraction on the right side. Then I added the Accent-AI filter. I used the Tone filter to lower the SmartTone and whites and raise the contrast and shadows. I boosted the clarity and used Dodge & Burn to darken the area around the camera’s lens.

Thanks. I appreciate it.
A blast from the past. I enjoy going to Cracker Barrels and seeing all of the history on the walls.
Nice photo Gary.
Thanks, Carol. The first time I ever went to one I figured all the signs and other objects were reproductions. Then I found out that they were genuine. Ever since then I’ve tried to visit every one of them I could. Unfortunately, there are none by me.
I visit every chance I get, you never know what you will see.
This sort of reminds me of my very first camera. It was a Kodak box camera and it really did look like a cube-shaped box.
I think I have one of those. I bought it at a junk store but I never got to try using it because I couldn’t find the film.
Last time I checked, I was still able to get 620 film, though that was a couple of years ago and I don’t remember where I saw it. I no longer have the camera, so I didn’t go any further.
