I first started taking photos with my mothers box brownie when I was 13 years old. I left home and bought a Kodak Instamatic which I used for many years. In 1985 I purchased a Canon A1 and in 1987 I purchased a Canon new F1. I first purchased a digital slr (Canon 500D) in 2009 and this was my start in digital photography. This was followed by a canon 5D Mark 3 in about 2014 and a Canon 7D Mark2 a few years later. In 2022 I acquired a Fujifilm X100v and started street photography. The 7D Mark 2 I use for bird photography but most of the all I like to use the Canon 5D Mark 3.
