The MangoFalls Camera Project

These days, a quarter won't buy you much—some stickers from a gumball machine, maybe, or a few minutes on a parking meter. But for one enterprising individual, 25 cents scored an undeveloped roll of film from a busted-up Nikon in a junk shop. And though the investment only yielded a few photos, those images were so saturated in color, so evocative of a time long ago in the lives of anonymous folk, that soon our enthusiast was rummaging for more used-but-abandoned film. A collection emerged: of giant cows, giant Santas, and giant American cars; of strangers' birthdays and weddings and days at the beach; of unknown girls in Easter pastels and mysterious men flashing a bit of skin. And then, with The MangoFalls Camera Project, our enthusiast shared his (or her?) splendid Kodachrome collection with the world.
