While cleaning my basement store room to make more space for photo props yesterday, I came across an old scrapbook. It’s full of images I took with my first camera! I had so much fun looking through them I just had to share a few.
This is my brother Keith in 1967. I love that he posed for me! Oops – I guess I’m showing my age with these dates!
My friend Kimberly Rogers loved posing for my camera – if you’re out there Kim, I’ve been trying to find you! I love that my shadow is in this shot which means she was facing straight into the bright sun, & could I be any further away!
Now we jump to 1969. I obviously still needed a little work on my composition skills – I almost got my brother Keith and our new puppy Rowlf in the shot!
1971 – this was the year I took photography in 4-H and actually learned a little bit about what I was doing. Notice the way mom is holding her purse – not sure if she did that or I directed it?
We had just moved to the country so there was always work to do – here’s dad taking a break from all the leaves!
And my whole family heading to the pond for fishing and a swim. Not sure dad was enjoying me constantly stopping him for pictures.
Of course, our pony Bill was always along – he loved to nudge people and push them into the pond.
Well that’s my trip down memory lane for the day, now back to editing!
