I started in 1957 with my mom's Brownie Hawkeye making space scene sets, photographing nature and travels. I later used a Yashika Mat, Mamiya-Sekor ??, Nikon SP, then my 1st Nikon F in 1968. After college I assisted a pro using and 8x10 TLR he built, then on to magazine work using 35mm to 8x10 until I retired in 2008. I still did local work until 2021 and now I work at Haleakala Observatory and do photography as a creative outlet using Nikon DSLR's
I have a D5100 that was a back up camera, never abused or dropped $200 +shipping
