In high school I took a photography course using an old Kodak Pony 35mm camera and learned to develop my own black & white photos in my basement darkroom. I finally saved enough money to buy a Minolta SRT-101 and some extra lenses. I took many beautiful photos with that camera. I've even shot candid wedding photo's with it that came out great! I've owned an Olympus D600L digital camera but it's memory capacity was limited. I now have a Sony DSC-H1 which I really like. My newest camera is the Olympus E-510 SLR 10MP Digital with the 14-42mm and 40-150mm Zuiko Digital Lenses
