Back in Time

I got too busy tonight planning my studio :o) and did not get a new picture taken but looked at some of my old pictures to find one to post. This picture was taken with my Kodak Brownie camera back in I think 1963 on a family trip out west. It was taken not too far from Mount Rushmore. My interest in photography started a very long time ago thanks to my Dad who seemed to always have a camera in his hand. I was 12 when I took this one which was part of my 4H exhibit that took Grand Champion at the county fair the following summer. Even though the print has faded over the last 45 years (I was able to enhance it a little when I scanned it) I still think it is a pretty good picture. Hope you like it.

  3. Awesome story, and thought - I have to say my love for it also came from my dad - he's an amazing sun set/rise photographer - the shots he's gotten are amazing - though SHHH dont tell him I said this but he cant catch an IN FOCUS person to save his life! :) This is great, it's nice to remember where we came from....and why we love it so much!

  5. Very cool! I've been taking pictures since I was a kid also. My father is a photographer, but while I was growing up he was a topographer (take pictures from planes to make maps)
