| My 1st camera was a Kodak Retina IIIc with 55mm lens |
Fifty-four years of taking pictures. . .
It all began out of utter boredom. I was on temporary duty in Newfoundland, flush with money making
$222 a month! I was unable to drink it all up so I bought a good camera .
And the rest, as they say, is history .
I carried that camera and it’s replacement for the next 21 years behind the Iron Curtain, in combat over the Ho Chi Minh trail, and 48 countries along the way .
