Where it all started...somewhere in the very early 60's. It's seen better days.
I still have some prints from this camera collecting dust in a shoebox.
That's what I started with too, but about 1954-5. Then my dad's Argus 35 mm, which he ended up giving me, and then the school's Graphlex Press Camera. I was a yearbook photographer for my last 3 years of high school, carrying that Graphlex, a bag of flash bulbs, and a bag of film cartridges around whenever not in classes. We've come a very long way since then.
Though very retired now at 84, I finally built my first very own photo/video studio 6 years ago upstairs in my home. While my kids were growing, my studio was my living room with all of the furniture pushed aside. I still experiment with light, but can now do it nearly every day. I went totally digital in 1998. I never liked dealing with the chemicals of film technology. My first good digital camera was a Sony Mavica FD-98, purchased in 2000. I have owned many digital cameras since then of all major brands, but now using Canon mostly. They just seem to fit me and my ways better.
Thanks for the memory. I have no idea what happened to mine. Glad somebody held onto one.
Thanks for stopping in Charley. I do and yet I don't really remember using this camera. However, on the occasions when I come across the few "antique" photos taken with it (some I took, some my folks took) it certainly does make me smile.
Your presentations are always "top shelf" Larry!
Just wonderful!
Military call sign= "Hawkeye One Zero" The only camera I have while in SE Asia was a Kodak?. The heat and humidity of 2 years destroyed it!
