And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The camera she is holding is one of the half-frame ‘Pen’ models by Olympus. Utilizing the very popular 35mm film types, each exposure would take half of the normal 24mm x 36mm frame of regular cameras, thus doubling the number of photos on a given roll of film. A 20 exposure roll would yield 40 or more shots. The longer 36 exposure roll would give you 72 (or more) shots!
The Olympus Pen-D model that my folks allowed me to use when I was a high school student was equipped with an excellent 32mm f/1.9 focusable lens. Its quiet leaf shutter had a maximum speed of 1/500 second. The entire camera construction was durable yet very precise. I was allowed to take it to school where a typical indoor classroom exposure setting was f/1.9 at a hand-holdable 1/60 second shutter speed without use of a flash. Its operation was so unobtrusive that I could take photos within a classroom setting without disruptions. Thus I still have a trove of hundreds (perhaps over a thousand) of photos that I took while in high school in the early 1970s.
It was an excellent camera for learning the craft of photography.
Nice little sexy chic.
