Mystery Camera #9

[PGraham3]

I recently came across this photo and I’m curious, can anyone recognize the exact camera she is carrying?

 

[Horatio]

I'll guess a Minolta Hi-Matic, or maybe Olympus RF if she's really hip.

 

[AgX]

After this submission I say Hi-Matic E.
The only Hi-Matic match I found so far.

Shouldn't you say what you know about the photo? You know, who took the photo and where you got it?

 

[Steve Goldstein]

Seems to be a just-opened (a few days ago) place in Bangkok, Thailand.

There's something very 60's about that photo. The color, the slimness of the gal (humans look different these days from all the growth hormones in the animals we eat), the clothes, etc.

Many Thai natives are slightly built like this. It may in fact be due to diet -- if they didn't grow up in a city like Bangkok, the only meat they probably ate was locally grown without such treatment, and a significant fraction of the population is vegetarian anyway.

Well, considering that Fats & Angry opened in 1995.... at most, the photo is 25 years old.

Fats and Angry.?
There must be a story in that.

I think the Apple watch on her wrist is a better way of dating this image.

Well, as a non-native speaker I do not even understand it. But maybe those who made up that name were non-natives too... or they are nick-names...

Hard to tell. Could be a PacMan wristwatch.... I used to have one of those.

I knew someone who had a "Black Watch" that looked a good bit like that in 1977. One of the early LED display quartz models; would run about six months on a battery, maybe a year if you disabled the motion sensor. Watches that shape have been around longer than Fats & Angry.

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

My monies on Minolta Hi-Matic.

My monies on Minolta Hi-Matic.

+1
and that watch looks like the one my dad got free for a fill-up at the local gas station back in 79-80

 

[Kino]

The watch is probably a Casio G Shock variant.

The watch is probably a Casio G Shock variant.

Maybe she's from the future...

 

[Huss]

I am lip reading what the girl in the background is saying, and I'm pretty sure she is saying "OMG can you believe it is 2020?!"

Minolta Hi-Matic or Minolta Hi-Matic E, awesome! I think that’s probably the correct guess. I don’t think it looks like an Olympus RF much, but possible.
Cool! Thank you, everyone!

Great photo. Reminds me of the 70's when I was in high school. Pretty groovy chick!

Not the cloth nor the girl.

I think it would still be appropriate to say where the photo came from.

Why?

 

[reddesert]

Because as photographers, we should be extra conscious of giving other photographers credit when republishing or reusing their work.

 

[Don_ih]

Why?

Exactly what @reddesert said.
