My First Canon

Day 7 of 365

This is where photography began for me. My father gave me this camera for my photography courses in College. At the time I just needed an 35mm manual camera to complete my assignments. I didn't put much stock in the fact that he was giving up a passion of his so that I could learn it.

After using it for years and paying an absurd, but worth it $200 to repair it. I loaned it my niece, knowing it had good karma. She used it to learn her photography and then moved on to digital. She is very passionate and a wonderful photographer.

Today it was returned to me.

Now that it is home, I shall retire it onto the front of a shelf where other classic cameras are displayed. Certainly, to be in the front. Probably never used again, but never forgotten.
