The world of photography has become a passion of mine and it seems others are finding the same draw to photography. Since I have been at it a very long time I thought I would begin to share and hopefully help others along the journey.
My first camera was a Polaroid Land Camera of the bellows style where the bellows and focus rails folded up in to the body of the camera. Does anyone else remember that camera. It was black and white instant develop prints that took about a minute to process after every shot.
Although messy and not archival prints this camera gave us some of the same advantages of the current digital world with immediate visual feed back on the shot. If it wasn't what I wanted I could take another shot, assuming the moment had not been lost in the 3-5 minute process of pulling tabs, extracting the print, waiting for development, peeling the cover sheets, and putting a clear coat coating on the new print. Cool but no histogram to check exposure with.
