My Father was a camera junkie…
I remember his 1st Yashica camera, wrapped in a neat brown leather cut-out body skin, with a very thin strap, just like it was yesterday…(or 60+ years ago…)
Tahquamenon Falls, MI
One of the 1st places I remember taking photos with my Father
In my mid-teens, I purchased a Canon AE-1, probably a top of the line pro-sumer camera at that time. Of course I had to get a zoom lens and all the goodies available at the time.
Then came my enlistment into the U. S. Marine Corps and of course everything changed. Part of my duties entailed photographing the various housing units, Clubs & Mess’ operations thru the Audits we made. That camera got a work out.
Fast forward past my honorable discharge and my hospitality experience/ownership, was a brief stint as a real estate agent, and, yes, I photographed some exterior elevations for some old school newsprint magazines.
Now, in my 3rd or fifth career move…lol…I find myself swinging back to photography. I’ve a fascination with 360° immersion photography, aerial photography and of course, real estate photography…and have built a team of like minded souls to lead on this next journey…
