1960's started off with the Kodak box brownies
late 60's early 70's had the kodak 126 instamatic but
at Jr High I used a Yashica Mat 124 TLR and must have blown the schools budget on tri-x film shooting sports
In High School I used a Pentax SL and spent a lot of time in the b&w lab
somewhere in the early 80's I picked up the ME Super and Vivitar 283, Vivitar 270mm zoom and a Spiratone (wonder what ever happened to them) 135mm. Shot any awful lot of slide film, one of these days I'll get them scanned
But after awhile the camera spent more time in the closet coming out for holidays and such.
2005 youngest neice gets married and everybody remembers hey your a photographer guess what you get to do Uncle Larry
So I pull out the ME Super and blow off the dust, change the batteries loaded film and tried to remember everything I had forgotten over the years. Gawd did I forget a lot. But it turned out well, the pics lasted longer than the marriage did So I will get to do it again someday I have taken a couple of courses at the local community college (unfortunatly the instructor shoots n*k*n, works for a local camera store and keeps telling me "pentax is dead")
Late in 2005 my family got together and gave me an istDL. And ever since I have been adding to my collection, got the 360 flash, the DA 16-50 2.8, DA 50-135 2.8, the K20D and battery grip, even got me the hat so
I AM A PENTAXIAN AND I HAVE GAS AND LBA!!
