Hi: I am Quinn 4. My interest in photography goes back 30+ years, when I was living in New York City. Had a friend who show me how to use a camera and how to take pictures inside without using flash and other things about photography. I use a Pentax K-1000 with 50mm/ 35 to 70mm and 24mm lens. I still have that camera and 24mm lens. When living in New York City I was using a roll of 36 pictures film a mouth. After 13 years living New York City, I move out and after about 2 years after that I stop taking pictures. About six years ago I stop at a yard sale found a Canon AE-1 with lenses and that get me back into photography and I have not look back. Also get into collecting cameras which is good and bad. Some of the cameras I have found: 120mm film cameras: Voigtlander Bessa II // Hasselblar 1000f// Yashica Mat & D. 35mm film cameras: Leica IIIb // Retina 1(type 2) IIc- IIIc - IIIC - Retina Relex IV and other 35mm cameras Pentax- Canon- Nikon. I do not collecting or use digital cameras- using one of them is not real photography. Have no use for non-working cameras. I like using non-battery cameras. I have some battery cameras which I like to use. I not in to the high tech end of photography. I using my mind eye to take a picture. I am testing a Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 520/15 with 120mm film rate now. Made a mask so I could use 120mm film in the camera. I live in Northern New York and fall colors on trees this year are off the scale, best it has been in years. So far this fall I have use up two rolls of 24 35mm film and third roll half use up.( Canon AE-1 and Zeiss Ikon Contaflex- Contaflex Super Old Style) Two rolls of 120mm film(Voigtlander Bessa II) and third with Zeiss's camera. If someone like what I doing and what I wrote. I here Quinn 4

Hi: Quinn 4 here. I have no idea how to get film prints on to a computer and than on to a web site. I have someone come once and put pictures from a one of my sister digital camera on the computer. I find the whole thing too complex for me.
