My parents gave me a Diana for my 9th birthday.Started to immortalize my toys.Took over my parents Yashica at 14.Nikkormat at 16,I still have it.Bought my first own at 18 Olympus Om1 ,went to a Leica R3.To heavy! Changed it for a Minolta CLE with Leitz M optics.Went digital with I don't know what for 15 years.Suddenly I had more time and bought a Sony A7 witch I still use.

So what did this learn me? Don't focus on stuff but be creative.

Now I love the contact with people that I meet .Have a chat and some exposures ,thus my day is golden!
