Cameras and Horses

Photography has been one of my hobbies since I was 15 years old. That’s when I got my first camera – a Brownie Hawkeye. (It looked just like this picture.) So you’re probably wondering about the title of this posting. How do horses picture into this thing. Actually it wasn’t horses, it was one horse. I’ll tell you about that tomorrow, and post a picture of me and the horse.

Back to cameras, that little Brownie Hawkeye was the only camera I had for several years. After I had been married about 6 years, I convinced my husband that we really needed to get a better camera. So, we got an Agfa. It wasn’t a very expensive camera but it was a lot better than the Brownie Hawkeye. And you could take slides with it. So the next several years we took lots and lots of slides. We had another inexpensive camera after that one. Then in 1985 I got a really good 35mm Cannon camera. Then I was really in business. That camera still takes wonderful pictures, but it is awfully big and bulky and you have to buy film for it. So a few years ago, I bought my first digital camera. I’m now on my third digital camera. Boy digital cameras are the only way to go.

Now, are you curious about the horse? I hope so. Be sure to come back tomorrow to hear the rest of the story.
