Edwin Land_Impossible Project_901 Washington Blvd  

I thought that I would share this Eames Office related piece from my collection and a memory. The primitive close-up lenses came with camera #4 along with a letter of provenience from the owner who worked at 901 Washington Blvd.
I remember a vacation trip to Wisconsin in 1971 and visiting my father's uncle in Egg Habor near Green Bay, WI. Earlier that summer he was given a SX-70 to test before they were available to the public. It was a fascinating camera that captivated everyone who witnessed its magic.
Cheers to Mr. Land and the Impossible Project for keeping his magic alive, to the 901 Washington employees who participated in making the SX-70 orientation film and finally to uncle Joe who was a great american inventor in his own right... if you consider the Snap-On Wrench a worthy design.
