A junkyard Mamiyaflex C2
I have a couple of Mamiya twin lens reflex cameras with interchangeable lenses. A C330f and a C220. I was at my local junkyard (Island Recycling) a while back and I found this junkyard camera. It's an early version of my Mamiya C220. I got it for $15.
Morioka, Japan 1949-1950
In 1949 my grandfather, Lt. Colonel Millard Maclaughlin, and grandmother, Marie Maclaughlin, went to Japan as part of the United States Occupation of Japan. Japan had been under a military occupation since the end of WII that would not end until 1952. Millard and Marie were sent to Morioka, in northern Japan.
