365 - Day Thirty Three

This is my very first SLR camera, received as a present on my 16th birthday. This is before digital and completely manual, focus and all. I love this camera and hopefully I will have it with me forever and ever even if it is not used for years. I am letting my niece borrow it for a photography class she is taking at her high school, she is 15 and it is her very first experience with a manual film camera. I really hope she enjoys it as much as I did.

My little man wanted to play with the camera but I feared he would break it before I got to hand it over to my niece. I mean it is very durable but he is three and that means he can break even the unbreakable. So, I remembered Mike still had his first digital camera, a whopping 1mp HP camera. I inserted some batteries and off he went taking pictures of our feet and midsections (really the last area I want him photographing). I will have to download them and see what he's got on there.

All this camera fun was going on while my man worked tirelessly on the wood cutting for winter.
