So Much Like Me
When I was very young I dreamed of becoming a photographer. It was TV that did it. I was in 1st grade - maybe 2nd. I don’t remember the show but the main character went in a darkroom to print photos. I think it was a police show. I was hooked from that point on.
I stole 2 cooking pans from my Mother’s kitchen, filled them with water and put them in my room. I found piece of paper to put in the pan pretending I was making a photo magically appear.
I have had many camera’s and taken hundreds of thousands or pictures since then - maybe more. I made my living with photography for a short while. I spend way to much on gear, and yes I still shoot film.
This is my grandson, and that is a real camera. If only I could have had a digital camera like that at his age . . .
