From a (Bell & Howell projector) cube labeled "Wind River & Yellowstone". I haven’t gotten to the point of trying to identify locations yet, using the notes he left. But I’ll bet someone here knows where this is.

Taggart Lake? Those big rocks in the back are a dead ringer, but you can't really see the lake in your scan.

Roswell, GA (Atlanta suburb)

My brother first got a 35mm camera sometime in the 1960s. He used it going into the mid-70s. It was made by Agfa, and I think, after doing some searching, that it was an Agfa Optima.
Agfa Optima cameras

The focus ring had little icons: people close by, people farther away, and mountains. I tried using it when I took my first photography class in college, and then abandoned it for a basic Honeywell Pentax. I couldn’t afford the Pentax Spotmatic, which had a built-in light meter, so you can imagine that my results were often pretty bad. My dad could not believe that I had spent $170 on a camera that couldn’t develop its own pictures.

My brother got some decent shots with his Agfa. This one was from a family trip west, probably around 1965. The film he mostly used was "Agfachrome".

Thanks. Tetons in the background?

Yes; In your brother’s the Grand is slightly left of center, partly obscured by clouds.

In the photo I posted Mt. Moran is the peak (complete, not partial) on the furthest right (North). Your brother’s ends just short of it.

I found an image that looks like the Agfa camera my brother was using until eventually getting a more modern 35mm:



I vaguely recall that it developed problems with the film transport, at the time that I was trying to use it for my photography class. Not sure what happened to it after that. I do recall my photography prof eying the little icons on the focus ring with great skepticism.
