Congratulations.





Thank you.

This month I've sold the 4th and 5th photos of my 50 year career

You have done better than me, which is not hard. ;-)

In the past, I discouraged inquiries about selling. However, this year
the owner of a local camera store, who is a member of one of my clubs,
gave me a some equipment, a focus adjustment, and a sensor cleaning,
in exchange for a print he liked. I had an inquiry from someone who
saw some of my prints at a library show: but since it was for a no
kill animal shelter, I gave her the print.

I have no idea when my photo career started, but I can safely say over
seventy years ago. I started with a using my mother's camera, when I
was about 8, a few years later I got my own brownie. In high-school I
got my first SLR, Exacta V with f2 Biotar, and a wet darkroom.



That should read "Exacta VX...."




OK


At any rate, when I was a kid I started with a brownie but my dad gave
me his old bellows-type camera (Probably a Junior Six 20 or similar)


It had a light leak and only one image came out at all so I threw it out.


Looking back I realize all I would have had to have done is put a piece
of black tape over the small hole or holes.


Anyway I enjoy doing this but it's nice if someone buys one.
