Lets Get Started

I have been taking photos since I was about 12 years old.  I started with a folding Kodak Tourist camera that used 620 film.  In high school I processed through such lovely cameras as a Brownie Hawkeye.  In college I bought a Kodak Pony 828 which used 35mm film with a paper backing.  Later I bought a Pentax Spotmatic camera with a really good 50mm, f1.4 lens.  That was my camera until I bought a motorized, auto-focus Minolta 3Xi with a zoom lens.


In 2000 I bought my first digital camera for the occasion of the birth of my first grandson.   I bought my first digital SLR, a Canon XT, in 2006 and upgraded to a Canon 50d in 2008.  


Here are some shots from the early cameras.
