Vintage guy and his camera

I am retired and enjoying it. Major hobbies include 35mm film photography, music (eclectic), guitar playing (poorly), reading, and cooking. I'm interested in connecting with old and new friends who share these interests among others. Connect with me!
Fun! Glad to see you posting here.

I recently shot a couple rolls of Kodak Gold and UltraMax for the first time in many decades. I've found I still tend to take black and white pictures in color! I haven't been particularly successful in using the medium well. More practice, I suppose. Thanks for the inspiration to keep at it.

How fun for you! I like the change in perspective. It's not a vote either way! Just like looking at the same thing from different points of view.

I love these birds. We are lucky to have them here in Austin. Nice capture!

I like him, too. Nice to have someone with cajones standing up.

Thanks, man. It's been tough and I expect worse. But I'm hopeful.

I see! I, also, am retired. I live in Austin, Texas, USA. A blue island In a sea of red!

Somewhat interesting addendum to typewriter story and I'll leave you alone. I lived in Englad at that time, in Essex. My dad was USAF. Enjoy your cool old machines.

Awesome. I really enjoy seeing the much older machines. I'm not a typewriter junkie, I just like them. I learned on an old Royal or Underwood when I was probably 8 or so (my mom taught me when I was home from school sick!). Cool memories have been evoked.

The Royal Delux is very much like the typewriter I learned on in the mid-60's!

It would be neat to see a series of the pictures. Do you have them published somewhere? It would be super cool to see the deterioration over time.

Fantastic! I love that altogether. Thanks for sharing.

I love this image! So much of a story here...
