Great-grandpa served on the USS Prairie during WWII. It previously had been a hospital ship, then was converted to a mechanics ship. He and his friends found some film that was for x-rays. They built a camera, and used the old film to take these pictures.

Is it old looking because its old, or because they used x ray film?

"They built a camera" Dude, everyone back then was awesome. My generation looks like a bunch of babies with shit in their pants.

It's kinda hard to make a modern camera though. Like any of us could make a simple camera though.
