National Camera Day 2022
 |
I had a super 8 movie camera when I was in the 7th and 8th grade at Horace O'Bryant Junior High School. I had a GAF-LCS 35mm and an Argus 110 when I was a stupid man child working the emergency room at Richland Memorial Hospital.
During my Navy years I had a Yashica TL Electro X which was a very nice camera until it was stolen after lending it to a friend.
So yes, though fraught with mishaps and sometimes purchased beyond my means, cameras have been significant to my life all along.
I fancied myself a decent photographer for the most part.
Today is National Camera Day. It happens each June 29 and is intended to celebrate photography and those devices which enable us to "write with light".
My camera needs now typically are handled by my phone. Whereas most had separate electronics with which to perform photography nowadays the capabilities of phones in cameras fit the bill for many by and large.
