Agfa Click III: Test photos

I inherited my parents Agfa Click III. My parents are product of 1950s and 1960s and I was born in the mid 80s but all my childhood photos till the age of 3yrs lacked any colour. Till recently I resented my baby pictures not being colour. My parents are technology challenged and it seems this is not a recent thing. 

Those days 120 colour rolls were not found in my region and 35mm cameras were expensive. My father could afford one with his Govt. officer's salary but guess he never bothered. 

I must tell you that I come from one of the most remote places of the Earth. I am from Basar, Arunachal Pradesh but right now I am living in Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh. 

The photos below were taken with this light plastic camera. I saw the camera lying in my mother's almirah since ages and very recently thought of trying it. I got 120 rolls ordered from ebay Thailand (film_festival), 2 Kodak B &W and 2 Kodak Colour rolls and used 2 colours and 2 B&W roll but all the B&Ws were completely washed out and only the below colour photos could be saved. I am not sure whether it was the film roll's fault or the cameras' or the lab technicians'.... 

Anyway, I was super excited even with these few photos. This plastic camera is great for lomography. It is lo-fi but looking at photos, I am happy with the results. the photos where I stand is taken by Barkha the little girl with blue dress in the picture. Also the camera is great for double exposure photos because multiple photos can be taken without winding the camera. 

Most of the films got damaged so these were the only ones which came out. I like the medium format even though it has become almost obsolete.
