I don't usually put myself in the spotlight and you won't see a picture of me here.
Today we are so used to instant gratification and with our Phones in our hands it seems 24x7, we have the Camera (Both Still and Video) available all the time and in a lot of cases perfect quality. Those of us that took pictures with Film would always hope that the pictures come out clear.
My mom back in 1986 bought me a Pentax 35MM Camera. I wanted it specifically because in 10th grade I took a Photography class in school. I soon discovered that I could take these really cool pictures with some basic knowledge.
I put that to use working at Charlie’s Bike Shop (Levittown, PA) where we always had Contests and Shows. When the Pro Teams came out, it was my time to shine... I just needed to make enough money to buy film and well, get it developed. Today, I run digital equipment and still prefer my 35MM Camera compared to my phone.
I know I have posted some of these before and they have made the rounds on the socials. I still have all the negatives for these too!
Again, to all the Photographers that made the shots into the Covers, Articles, and Iconic shots we know!
Enjoy the Galleries!
