I guess my lesson from the Brownie was that even a simple camera can work wonders if we only do our part. Such a device teaches us to hold the camera still, because the shutter speeds are limited. I recently shot a nighttime image at 1/20 of a second, and it came out fine. The lesson still holds true. :-) Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA On 6/21/2015 9:12 PM, Leon Pomeroy wrote: > Jim Nichols: I enjoyed your old Kodak photo recalling how you got started > with photography.
