Photographer Found Old Camera At Goodwill, Inside Lay These Shots Of An Infamous Disaster

She looked at the grainy image again and an indescribable feeling washed over her. The black-and-white moment that was eerily frozen in time would haunt her dreams. While she slept, she saw it creeping down from the mountainside.

Then, everything went black. She had never meant to find it. Nevertheless, it had found her.

An Odd Hobby

Kati Dimoff laughed her friends’ comments off when she told them about her new hobby. She knew it was weird, but she found so much pleasure in peeking into other people’s lives. Her favorite pastime was to trawl thrift stores for vintage cameras.

But, even though she had dabbled in photography, it wasn’t the cameras she was interested in. Rather, she was interested in their contents.

A Voyeur

Kati’s obsession began when she purchased an old camera in a thrift store and found a roll of film inside.

“The first roll of undeveloped film I ever found had a photo of the Portland International Raceway in maybe the ’70s or the ’80s,” she explained. “That inspired me to keep looking for old film in Goodwill cameras.” Kati was hooked.

But she had never expected her unusual hobby to lead to this.

Fate

On one fateful day, Kati was taking a stroll through the town when she suddenly found her feet moving toward the doors of Goodwill. She hadn’t meant to indulge her peculiar hobby today, but she couldn’t resist.

She let her intuition guide her idly down the aisles until her eyes fell on exactly what she had been looking for.

The Argus C3

Kati reached for the dusty old Argus C2 that had been sitting on the shelf of the Goodwill store in Portland, Oregon.

Turning it over in her hands, she can hardly contain her excitement when she realizes that this is just what she’s been looking for. Inside the camera was a roll of undeveloped film. But she never could have imagined what secrets it held.
