My boy (the itty bitty one reading his map at the foot of the dino) at the Royal Ontario Museum, December 2013 (hey I only got my DSLR last October, LOL).

Rawr. I give up. There's the link. My work browser doesn't support the flickr share button so I'm trying to do it from scratch. What I did works on another forum. <shrug>

2005. This one's so old I didn't even have my own camera, I borrowed my sister's for a trip to Newfoundland.

We've got some broody hens that have been sitting on some eggs for a couple of weeks now. I wish I wrote down the date. I'm not 100% optimistic, but I hope we get some chicks too. It looks like fun!

Oh, I finally found them! Prints only, though. I still haven't located the negatives.

What are they, you ask? My two favorite shots from what I believe is one of my first ever rolls of film in my K1000. These were taken...must have been March 1993. I had just graduated college and was temping at a publishing company to kill time before starting grad school in Sept. I'd bought the K1000 as a combination birthday/graduation present for myself probably no more than a couple of weeks before I shot these.

I remember this morning very clearly. It had just finished snowing overnight and I was all read to leave from work, but the highway was still a holy mess, so I called into work to say I would be late. I saw the morning light hitting the piano and I grabbed the camera and started shooting.

So here are some 21-year-old shots. There are certainly things that I would do differently now, but they were the kinds of shots that got me excited about photography and encouraged that I could do it.

In 1977-78 I was in ninth grade, and I took my first photography class that year. Here is a window reflection self-portrait shot made during my photo class. We actually were allowed to leave the building and walk around, taking photos on that day! This was shot using the window in what we called The Foyer, at my junior high school.

Sorry for the low-res scan...not sure where it is in high-rez.

And here is a better selfie I made....same sweater, same glasses, and a huge-collared shirt and a Hart, Shaffer,and Marx blazer worn over the sweater and shirt combo! I'm not sure why this was framed so,so low. Check out the size of the collar on that shirt! Enough lift for a 727!

Cool! Hey, it was the 70's - did you go to one of those open-floor-plan schools, the ones with no doors and portable walls?

Derrel · Aug 21, 2014

Yeah, sorta...it WAS a very new building, sprawling and single story, but the classrooms did have doors, but there were multiple rooms that had those sliding vinyl door type dividers, so that two classrooms could be opened up into one larger area. I had a fun time there!

Gonna do a bit of a before/after here... This was one of the first camera product shots I ever did. Shot with my wife's old Sony a230.

Gotta say, I'm not some of you guys, but I've come a long way in somewhere around a year.

Don't sell your abilities short, 'Coop. Your Stormtrooper series was amazing, and kinda' validated that old idea that the most important camera gear is the 12 inches behind the eyepiece!

Thanks, Derrel. That means a lot, really. I still do that series, actually-he's been great at helping me test my remote flash triggers, my new speedlites, my strobe, everything. He's my learning tool, really.
