Sam’s artefact

“My grandfather’s Kodak Brownie box camera, which was made in the 1920s, was incredibly popular and ground-breaking in its day. But, compared to a modern digital camera, it is cumbersome and antiquated. I think it perfectly encapsulates how we can admire and be fascinated by the past, but also use the perspective it gives us to appreciate where we are now.”
