MY FIRST CAMERA - A LOOK BACK

My Mom got me my first camera when I was 10 years old, and it was Prima 35, analog camera used rolled film and had to go through manual printing process. I had been through funny experience using that camera, I had to learn to set rolled film to the camera and sometimes I went wrong by putting it backward, and of course after being in process then I could not see any pictures were recorded ha ha haaa ….


Besides learning to focus and getting good pictures, I had to keep on looking counting button which was showing of how many film that I had used, and if there are still many of interesting objects to capture, and the film reservation is limited then I have to make sure there were still film available to shoot that scene or moments. Not to mention that I had to set the flash/ blitz when shooting in night time or in low light, flash was not integrated with camera body, and the battery …. It used AA battery. Google helped me to find out that Prima 35 was made in Spain, and its pretty good camera, all manual so its all good for me to learn photography at the first stage

People says that life is like a camera, focus on what important, capture good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't turn out, take a another shot.
