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).

Wow, David! You are OLD!!

I was six years old in1960!
Cool photo BTW!

Yep, 85 is pretty old. I still get around, though. I was 22 when I took that picture, which was from a fire tower adjacent to the radar site.

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.

Giving Away Lightroom

Check your Adobe.com profile. If you have LR6, you should be able to right-click this link, save-as the file to your computer and then install.

I am currently ttempting to follow this lead. I've executed the link file and unzipped the file it downloaded. I'm running an "Install" file but it's attempting to install something I've never heard of, some Microsoft do-dad. It took a long time but apparently now it has finished and I've got a panel saying "Currently Installing Adobe Lightroom" so maybe I'm getting somewhere. I've been able to login to Adobe a couple of times so they do know who I am and that I'm paying. (Yeah, I know LR6 doesn't need a payment.)

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.

Do you have any pictures from that camera?

Thank you very much, David...appreciate. You're up very early, or late, whatever the case is!!

You would call it "late". I typically go to bed around 0300 or 0400 and sleep until 1000 or later. Sunday is an exception -- I get up earlier to attend church.
