It was a 20-year old IIIf, and I think that knowing what it cost had a lot
to do with the effect it had on me. That, and realizing my dad had read my
level of interest as being worth investing in.
It's been nearly 25 years since I got my MFA in printmaking and photography,
and I've earned my living as an art teacher.
