Week 50 - My First Love
Week 50 - My First Love
I don't have any of the really old cameras like some of you do, but this was my first 35mm camera, bought for me for Christmas in 1977 by my husband right before we were married. It is fully manual, even down to having to wind the film between shots. Just can't part with it! Look closely and you can see me (and a palm tree!) in the lens.

Funny how cameras can create memories and bring them back just by looking at the camera itself.

OM1 or 2? This was my Dad's first 35mm camera. We got ours about the same time. He picked Olympus because he could use it for night photography with a telescope. You could change the focusing screen. He had two of them. I have one and my son took the other. My son shot all over Great Britain with it, just a few years ago. Now he used my old 20D. Beautiful shot of this. I really should shoot my Dad's. It has a retro strap on it. Love your whole treatment of this - text and framing.
