lol gotcha... not that first time silly

Want to see how many people remember the first time they clicked their first photo? Maybe you can't remember that, so tell us your first time in the digital realm? If you still can't remember share with us your top 10 clicks :)

First? As in very first? I think that would be dull because for me it was a heap of test shots at the store.

First photo that I took and sold? That is better. It was of a direct sire decendent of Man of War. He was at Deb's barn and popped he head out of the stall to see what I was up to.

Prophet out.

This'll really date me . . .

It was my Brownie Starflash -- anyone remember how HOT those bulbs would get? I took it to camp & still have some of those stylin' shots.

I got a 110 camera for my 8th birthday. Shot tons of stuff with that thing. It was my point and shoot until about 13. My favorite images from that camera were of my of my great grandfather.

Don't know if it was a first, but its damn close... taken with one of those early 70s Kodak Instamatic cameras.. silver front, black plastic back.. took 125 cartridge film... shot in a square format... this shot was my best friend who lived a few doors down in Kansas City... the mustang in the background is my neighbor unloaded groceries. :)

Well, I don't remember my first time in photography, but I do remember my first time with digital. I had never shot digital b4 and never transmitted images, either. My agent in NY calls to cover the flood in Haiti. He said, "you are digital, right?". Not wanting to miss the assignment, I said, "uh huh". He said,
"you can transmit, right?". I didn't even own a laptop. I said, "uh huh". Well, got the assignment. Yeah! So, quickly called a friend up in Haiti that had a digital point and shoot (of course, the agent was expecting a professional digital camera). My friend also had a computer, but in PAP, not where the flood was. So, I had my fixer pick me up at the airport, we went and picked up the camera, a Konica Minolt Dimage, and I learned how to use it on the way to the flood. I had to go back and forth between Gonaives, where the flood was, driving through what was now a lake, used to be a road, floodwater up to the hood of our car, and PAP. It normally takes 4-6 hours to drive back and forth, on a good day! Pain in the butt. I would transmit all night long (my friend helped me figure it out...he is not a photographer). I had about 7 hours max. of sleep in 7 days and ate a total of 2 meals during those days. Needless to say, I did not make my first deadline (it was an impossible one), so I lost the assignment, but I got a contract from Zuma Press, which was even better. OH, and my first shot...all the UN trucks and cars that didn't make it through the floodwaters we were driving through.

Here are a couple of my first series of pics when I went digital:

I can't remember my first "photo", but I sure can remember my first roll of film on a 35mm SLR. I borrowed a Nikkormat (or whatever that was) from one of my high school teachers, loaded it up with a 36 exposure roll of Kodak Tri-X, and headed out to cover the football game. The next week, ran into the darkroom and developed my roll. What a complete surprise when there was NOTHING at all.

Seems I didn't "load" it correctly - this was back in the days of manual everything!

It never happened to me again!
