MY FIRST PICTURES - EVER! |
|
When I was a kid, my Uncle was a professional photographer.
He free-lanced, and had a portrait studio. I was
fascinated by his pictures, and marveled at all the pictures
he showed me of places he'd been and things he'd seen...
The bug had been planted... I wanted to do that, too!
My mom somehow managed to get me a camera for my
birthday... which was AWESOME, because the city was repaving
the street I lived on... the perfect opportunity!
I remember the thrill to this day! |

I sure liked that dump truck! :-) I remember it being
much larger than the one I see now... its quite amazing.
That's what I like about pictures so much... they trigger the
memory, no matter how old it might be!
Every picture was blurry... and nearly every one is crooked
and has something cut off... but, I had a blast! |

My mom marked "Patricia" on this picture, but I thought it was
Tammy.
The building behind her, with the electric meters on it, is
the "Pink House", a long row house built between 1798 and
1824... it wasn't on a map from 1798, but it was on a map made
in 1824. |

In the picture below, Roger Vere, a neighbor friend who was a
couple of years older than me, is standing with what was
probably my favorite toy (besides the camera, of course!)... A
Tonka Dump Truck. I don't remember what happened to that
thing... I sure had it a long time, though. |

Apparently, they regraded the roadway, too.... quite a bit, it
seems. The roadway before that was basically a series of
patched over potholes, pretty much mostly gravel. I
remember it sure looked nice afterwards.
So, there they are... my first set of pictures! These
only whet the appetite I had, though... I've taken tens of
thousands since these...
I still get them crooked sometimes, though... :-) |
