Last weekend, my father-in-law graciously gave to me a Kodak Jiffy camera he found while packing up their house. He had never once used this “old camera”. The box, and it’s contents, were in incredible shape. I immediately opened the back to see if there was an undeveloped roll of film. No such luck. But I found something inside that easily made up for the lack of any photographic treasure. An inscription from his mother. The camera was a present to her husband at Christmas in 1940. She included her address, which at the time was in Brooklyn, NY. He had never seen this before.

My wife and I will love this forever.
