1971 Barn door security by Cecilia Temperli

Print found in my archives ...

The film used may have been Kodak 100. I am amazed that the print, on unmarked photographic paper, still looks so good. Scanned on EPSON V700, slightly lightened in PS Elements. Everything else left as is.

The Miranda Sensorex was my first SLR camera, purchased shortly after it was released, in 1966 or 1967. It came with a standard 50mm 1.4 AUTO MIRANDA lens. The Miranda Sensorex, with lens attached is a seriously heavy camera!

Here is the story that goes with this shot

:This is my dad's creation after several attempts by people to break into our barn.

People would put their finger, or a small piece of pipe through the gap between the door and the wall panel, push up the wooden lever and slide the steel latch. So, dad added the wooden horizontal lever. Then, the people trying to break in, put a thinner bar in the gap on the left, pushed up the wooden bar, slid the metal latch, pushed up the wooden lever, and were in the barn again.

Then came the vertical piece. Us kids tried that one and this piece didn't work either because with a bent wire coat-hanger, slid through the gap on the left, one could push the vertical piece and then proceed as mentioned above.

In the end dad added the piece at the top and nailed a board over the gap. This worked well.
