I've been taking pictures off and on since I was 11 years old. I started out using a Kodak Brownie camera which my mother bought for me on my birthday that year. Years later, I began using a Yashica and 3 other cameras, which were made by Canon. All were 35 mm cameras, all except my first one which was my Kodak Brownie. At first, I just did grab shots, later on when I lived in the Smokey Mtn.s of Tennessee I became hooked on Landscape Photography. In the early 1980's I moved to California and studied Photography at Palomar College in San Marcos. Since my old trusty stand-by, my Canon AT-1, which is my favorite camera has a light leak I now use my Sony Mavica 75. This is just a point and shoot camera, and not near as good as my Canon, but I like it for the convience of not having to buy film all the time. I just slip in a floppy disk and have a barrell of fun. DO NOT USE ANY OF MY PHOTOS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION FIRST! P.S. As of April of 2011, I've been using my newest camera. It's a point and shoot,....a Kodak C-195. It has a 14 megapixel capacity with a 5 power zoom lens which I truly love!
