Do you have any pictures from that camera?Kodak Brownie Hawkeye box camera for me. Needed it because I foolishly volunteered to take some pictures for the grade schools (very rudimentary) year book. Of course I though of myself as a photographer because my dad and two uncles were amazing photographers... - 70 years later I'm still very happy I fell in love with making pictures.

Wow- probably. I would have to dig deep - really deep. But it might be fun!

I used that Baby Brownie Special for 4 years and 3 locations in USAF. At my 4th location I bought a Petri 7s 35mm rangefinder camera and switched to using it.

Went from the Hawkeye to a Hanimex Practika with a 50mm lens which lasted me years - until the Pentax Spotmatic came into my life. The list after that gets long and varied.

What what your first picture that got you hooked on phototgraphy? My first picture that got me hooked was taken with a Nikon point and shoot bridge camera. i can remember trying to get the picture and failing then having a brain wave to go get a piece of card board from the house and the following picture is the result, the cardboard went behind the robber flies while i got the picture

You and I began photography about the same time. Mine was at a mountaintop radar station (USAF) with a Kodak Baby Brownie Special (First shot posted earlier).I don’t remember what my first picture was, but I started with a Kodak Instamatic when I was in the Navy in the 1960s.
