I often say I’ve had a camera in my hand as long as I can remember, & that my mother handed down her old Minolta 110 film camera to me when I was 5 or 6.

Today, I found some of my oldest photos… told you I took photos of frogs, turtles, & toads in my backyard.

(My toes too.)

No, by the time she handed it down to me, I think the door to load the film was taped shut with either duct tape (my dad’s favorite) or maybe black electrical tape. I am sure I killed it not long after I got it. 🤣

Love the photo and learn of your early beginnings. 

This is so amazing to hear. My first camera was a Rolleiflex and was given to me by my mother.  

I wish I still had it. Do you have your Minolta?

Ha ha ha… I have always said I got a lot of shots of my fingers or thumb over the lens, but I didn’t realize I got my toes too. 🤙🏼

A true wildlife photographer always includes a rare species — in this case, baby toes in the wild.

😂 This is great! You know I bet I have film in my old camera!
