SDCC had the opportunity to shoot with a Brownie Hawkeye film camera last month with Whitney Daude from Dallas Center of Photography.
George Eastman, the founder of Kodak, coined the advertising slogan, “You push the button, and we’ll do the rest.” With this workshop and photo walk, DCP is adopting the same philosophy. The Brownie Hawkeye camera is stylish, easy to use for all ages, and simply fun to photograph with. It was introduced in 1949 during the golden age of photography.
