When i started out in photography i needed a loan to get Hasselblads and Balcars but a business loan was too much for me to bite off at the time. My banker was sympathetic because she know my 1964 Renault was worth more than it's blue book value and her dad was a photographer. So I think we called it a loan to buy a Chevy Nova! That's how i got started in photography in 1977. I always thought: Thank God for the Chevy Nova! Takes great pictures!
