I loved photography and the manual camera. Ask me today if I recall how to use one, though!
Imagine when you talk to a dog and he cocks his head sideways in a puzzled manner. That is how I viewed the world through my viewfinder...always with offbeat angles and unique views.
Photojournalism is wonderful, and no doubt I should have pursued it a bit more -- for pleasure.

Those pictures are awesome. We have an old photo of my great grandparents who came here from Russia, and I swear the woman had the same pose in the front and the same pearls. Do you think my great grandmother stole your great grandmother's pearls? Wouldn't that be ironic?
Can you get that same amazing contrast with a modern camera and black and white film? Certainly not from my stupid digital camera!
Wonderful photos. Tremendous talent.
wonderful photos! i, too, took a photography course years ago and absolutely loved the feel of the real-deal camera. i wasn't nearly as talented as you, though! it's not too late to pursue!! :)
