In the early 1960's my Father purchased something that changed my life
forever. A Polaroid camera. It was rather strange in appearance, but
it was the latest in technology at the time. You could snap the
shutter, and in seconds out came a picture that developed in front of
your eyes in a few minutes! It was a like having a portable darkroom.
Magic! That camera was a springboard into the next decade when I
bought my first 35 mm SLR. As they say, the rest is history.
