My very first camera, when I was about 8 years old, was a Kodak Brownie, a
127 with a built-in AG-1 flash. I still have some pictures taken with that
camera, and they were't all that sharp either. There are probably millions
of family pics out there with technical quality in the 'Holga' class, but
important to the people in the pictures. I can't call any of my 35-year old
snapshots art, but its a trip to look back...

OM-1's, -2's, -4's, (no -3's yet) and no OM-oney...
Remember "Open Me First"? That's what it said on the box... that camera
might still be around somewhere.
