My dad was an amateur photographer using his Diana-F, black and white Japanese film camera. That camera went a long way ... capturing me in my pram [1965] to simple hunting trips with dad [1970] and many more shots that helped retain memories from my childhood.
My dreams of holding the camera on my own came true when he gave it to me for my Primary 6 farewell party day [1978] ... and I had a whale of a time though I was using the most ancient model in my class.
I bought my own gear, Yashica FX3, my first SLR by 1992.
