I'll have to dig out my old 35mm SLR's. I had a Yashika and a Minolta. Started using them in the 70's. Mostly slide film. But here's an interesting story.....
When I was teaching Horticulture at Daytona Beach Community College my dept was in the Vocational side of the campus and their Photography dept was an award winning one. There was a fellow instructor there I knew from NSB. I think she may have graduated ahead of me by a year and had a younger brother behind me one year. Anyway - we were chatting one day and she asked to take some B&W portrait pics of me for practice. I still have them and here is one she took:
I was around 27 by then.
I just found her FB page and this pic of her:
I think I will send her a message and let her know I'm still around and how much I enjoyed the photo shoot and the pics she took.
Not sure who the fellow is in the pic - maybe her husband.
