It turns out that I’m not the first wannabe photographer in my family. The camera on the left belongs to my maternal grandfather. Sadly, I have no memories of him using it. It had been lying in the basement for a while. It was brought out yesterday when the basement was being cleaned. The camera on the right belongs to my parents. Unfortunately I only have very faint memories for this camera. From what I’m told it was a state of the art camera when it was bought.
I haven’t yet found any photos that were shot with these cameras, but hope to someday…
