It matters a lot that someone would embrace a relatively new technology and grow as it grew. You've seen more from behind a camera than most will see in a lifetime. Congratulations!

Congratulations for this amazing anniversary!You are lucky to be celebrating such a long involvement with photography. In addition to yours, this year marks two more anniversaries: ninety years ago, Leica introduced its first 35mm camera and sixty years ago Nikon presented the first challenge to Leica with the S2 that featured the first advance lever and many other innovations.
Please enjoy and show us some of your rarest shots!

Although it hardly matters to anyone but me, in a few days it will be eighty years since I snapped my first picture. Eighty years since I entered the wonderful world of photography.

It was the last Sunday in August. The year was 1935. I was six and a half years old. An older cousin had given me a little ninety-eight cent Kodak Baby Brownie camera and I was anxious to try it out. The day was bright and sunny. I posed my mother and her brother, my Uncle Jack, in front of a large fountain in a park. I have no memory of what was on the rest of that roll, but the image of my mother and Uncle Jack in front of the fountain is forever etched in my mind, although the print and the negative are long gone.

On that sunny Sunday of long ago 1935, I had no inkling that from that time on, I would always have at least one camera, often several, and that photography would be a large part of my life. So, in a few days, I will celebrate an anniversary of sorts, eighty long years since I first clicked a shutter.

Congrats Photoman! I know well how you feel-----we have much in common. Check out my first post. I'd be interested to know some of the cameras you have used along the way---particularly early ones.
