My particular model was a Sears brand that competed with the Kodak brand in the years between 1912-1920. Does yours have any brand names on it? Ebay is a good resource for finding a rough market value. Thanks for reading! Value for mine is likely less then $50, as it is a pretty common camera.

I think that being able to extract the mood of a live event as its happening is a fantastic skill, and I totally think that's one of your strengths. So don't underplay that. What about trying "non-traditional" portraits? Look at shooting people as shooting their personality? Don't have them sit and stare at a camera, but have them bring a friend and have a conversation and catch the candid moments. Tell a couple of a family to just interact and forget that there's a camera. The pictures I like best of myself are the ones that capture that smile that I know is completely genuine, or the middle of a laugh. No-one has ever been able to get that from me in a "portrait session" but they've found it in times that I knew there was a camera, but wasn't "posing.
