My first camera was a simple little "Point and Shoot" type. I just loved taking pictures of my mom, dad, brothers and my one and only sister whether they liked it or not My mother and sister just loved it when I snapped a picture early in the morning with their hair in curios. I used to etyoy taking graphs of ghost towns such as Standardville, Spring Canyon noth of Helper, Utah with its spooky buildings. I remember there was a school house where the students were out for recess "Forever And Ever' because "The Spooks never had a "Ghost of Chance" of graduating due to using "Invisible Ink" to do their homework. would as it charged right after me. Pause-Free- ze ' Frame-T-m Trouble"! I didnt want to climb in the fence and damage my camera. The horse made up my mind for me by stomping my back, breaking my flash (wonderful unit that turned itself off to save batteries) and my telephoto. Fortunately my camera survived the battle with the horse, and I only received a few bruises. The bronc riding contestant took second place in the rodeo and Ive always felt he should have split his earnings with me because I made his ride extra special. I even took his picture before I became a doormat for the Dinosaur Roundup Rodeo. .

However, the camera got to be a pain as I had to cover the photo with some type of gluey stuff to preserve it and the film just wouldn't go in to the camera the right way. I abandoned the "Quick Camera" for the popular 35MM "Instant-Camera- type. I purchased a Canon 35MM camera because I got a super duper deal on it The power of capturing people on film made me feel like a "Big Shot" and I was starting to get a "Blast" out of shooting people ' with my Canon camera. One of the first photographs I ever took during my career as a journalist was of an elderly couple that was celebrating their "Golden ' Wedding Anniversary" .
