My parents bought me a plastic box camera that took 120 film when I was eight. I got an Instamatic a teen, beat climbing into a dark closet to change film. I lived with a boyfriend after I got divorced, and we bought a 110 camera by Pentax with interchangeable lenses. I finally bought my first SLR, a Pentax Super Program, and took a beginning photography course at the local community college because I really wanted to learn how to use it properly. The teacher owned a camera store, and he helped me a lot. I then took photo lab to have access to the darkroom to print my photos.
I did work at the old Best Products in the camera and electronics department as a camera specialist. The manager and I were the only photo specialists. The rest knew computers, TVs and VCRs, etc.
My first digital was a Nikon Coolpix 990, then a Canon EOS XS. I have finally moved up to a Canon R6 Mark II this year.
It has always been a hobby, but I love it. I love to experiment and see what happens. I have one a couple of local photo contests. One of my photos was on my home city's Visitor and Convention Bureau's yearly guide.
