[Rance]

Got my first (a Canon F-1) in 1979.

Don't remember when I got my first camera. Most of the cameras I use belong to someone else. The first one I used was a "brownie." I still love those cameras.

We got a camera for listening to a real estate sales talk at Lake Tillery that we never figured out how to use. It sat in a drawer.

I really don't like pictures taken of me unless I can pose, but I like to take a lot of pictures of my grandchildren.

I got an unusual shot of a picnic table in the water with people sitting at it and a dog playing with them when we were at Tablerock Lake in Branson.

My first camera was a small 110. Sold chances on a card and sent the money in and rec'd this cute little thing that may have lasted about 1 year. Come to think of it, I remember selling many chances on little punch cards to family and neighbors as a child growing up in the city (St. Louis). Wonder if I was thought of as a nuisance! Over the years have had many cameras. One of my favorites was an Olympus 35mm. When it finally quit operating, I tried to get it repaired. Never could. Was told to send it to Japan!! Now have 2 digital Canons which I enjoy using.

I am almost always the photographer. Do dislike having my picture taken.. Will keep camera(s) by my side most of the time. Never know when a splendid sunset will occur. Now sunrises are something else. I've heard about them. Family photos are another favorite subject of mine. As well as the critters in my woods and the woods.

Still have a few Polaroids around also. From real estate days of over 20+ years ago.

I don't remember my first camera.

I don't like to be photographed.

I like to photograph blue skies, autumn leaves and my pets.

I always offer to be the picture taker to ensure I'm not in them

[Karla with a K]

how many remember that strange "flash bar" that you would use with the 110
I always had the wrong side


I don't remember my first camera way to long ago

now days I take dog or garden pictures

I am the "taker" much more that the "takee"

I have noticed since going "digital" that I take more pictures lol remember I took over 1400 while in Alaska
But I find not having a roll of film to develop means I don't have as many pictures in hand

I was cleaning out a kitchen drawer the other day and found 3 rolls of film that I never had developed hmm I may have to drop them off
wonder what pictures they contain
