This is a long story!
In 1979, we took a trip to Israel. I bought my first camera 2 days before the trip and read the directions on the plane. As soon as we got off the plane, I fell in love with photography. My husband never had a chance to use the camera. When we returned with 22 rolls of 36 exposures Kodak film, I couldn't wait to see all the photos of our vacation. I "flew" to the store as soon as the photographs were available, and was I in for a big shock! None of them developed because I did not know how to load the camera correctly!
I have the attitude if you make a mistake, FIX IT. So, I joined a darkroom class. My love of photography spread to my love of the darkroom. I spent hours being creative and entering photos in the adult high school and community college photo contests where I enrolled for classes. (Of course, this was pre-real estate when I had loads of time.) Now I receive pleasure from my clients who are thrilled with the photos of their homes. I am on the hunt for a new camera as my old SLR went to "camera heaven". I am open to suggestions. I used a 17m. lens for taking photos of properties. It was perfect. It's time to go digital. I have a point and shoot digital, but it does not have a wide enough angle.
Thanks for reading!
