Every photographer has a first camera. Mine was a Kodak Instamatic X-15F (allegedly the last of the Instamatics). It was all plastic and used 126 cartridge film. What can you say - it was a starter camera. Here are a few surviving shots from my first years taking photographs - the late 1970s. These capture a July 1978 railroad excursion with my father. The locomotive is the massive Southern Railways #610, which led the Piedmont Limited from Alexandria, VA to Charlottesville, VA and back. The photo of the two of us in front of the Charlottesville turntable was taken by a kindly stranger.
Joe - these are absolutely great pictures. You should really get more into photography and forget boring accounting.
