Hello from Texas

3 years 11 months ago #684298 by whatsername
Hello everyone, I wouldn't say I'm new to photography really but most of mine has been digital through cell phones and point and shoots. My dad was really big into cameras he always had his Minolta XD-11 around his neck where ever we went and was constantly snapping pictures. After he sadly passed 16 years ago we found cardboard boxes in the basement where he worked on stained glass full of cameras from box to twin lens, old video cameras and kodak vest pockets. I have fallen in love with all these cameras and photography in general.

Thanks everyone! I'm actually going to set some time aside to get my Minolta XD-11 out and about for some pictures when it's not horribly hot outside. I'm also looking at getting some nice black and white 120 film for my Yashica mat 124G I have always wanted to use it and I'm finally getting a chance!
