			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been fascinated by cameras and photography since I was a boy. My father was an avid photographer, did wedding photography, had a darkroom for developing and printing pictures, and made our photo Christmas cards himself for the first few years. Some of the cameras I&#8217;ve  used over the years are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.brownie-camera.com/27.shtml">Brownie Hawkeye</a> &#8211; my starting camera</li>
<li><a href="http://www.pacificrimcamera.com/pp/leica/sm/iiig.htm">Leica IIIG</a> &#8211; The last of the screw mount Leica cameras that my Dad bought new around 1958. When I was a boy, my Dad taught me to use a handheld exposure meter and this camera. I took many pictures with it on our vacations.</li>
<li>Agfa &#8211; One of the <a href="http://www.chromeagecamera.com/Optima.htm">Optima</a> series.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/index-frameset.html?BolseyB2.html~mainFrame">BolseyB2</a> &#8211; A neighbor had this camera and he took the shutter timing mechanism apart and could not reassemble it. He gave it to me, and I was able to get it assembled and working.<a href="http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/index-frameset.html?BolseyB2.html~mainFrame"><br />
</a></li>
<li><a href="http://captjack.exaktaphile.com/canonflex/Canonflex%20Original%20New.htm">Canonflex</a> &#8211; This was the first SLR (Single Lens reflex) made by Canon, and was introduced in 1959. I believe that my Dad bought it when it was new, and I started using  it about 1968 to take closeup pictures of my clock collection. We had a screw on closeup lens that worked well.</li>
<li>Canon <a href="http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/canon/fdresources/SLRs/ae1/">AE-1</a> with 50 mm Macro lens. I bought it new about 1980 and used it for closeup and general photography for years.</li>
<li>Canon <a href="http://www.slcentral.com/canoneosrebelslrcamera/">EOS Rebel Ti</a> &#8211; when our middle aged eyes could not focus the AE-1 anymore, my wife and I bought this camera in 2003.</li>
<li>Canon <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_a540.asp">A540</a> &#8211; for home and church web site photos. Our first digital!</li>
<li>Canon <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_a570is.asp">A570 IS</a> &#8211; for use in the clock shop. Has manual exposure mode which is good for closeup photography.</li>
<li>Canon <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_eos40d.asp">EOS 40D</a> &#8211;  digital SLR  &#8211; haven&#8217;t bought one yet but it looks good!</li>
</ul>
<p>My nephew Bugsy recently <a href="http://www.hometowninvasion.com/">visited all 50 states</a> and took hundreds of photos with a <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/news/0602/06022114canoneos30d.asp">Canon 30D</a>. My sister has a Canon <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_sd600.asp">SD600</a> and before that used a Canon EOS 850.</p>
