I was inspired by the first line of this blog post by Eve North on 35mmc. It made me think about when I first started this hobby of photography.
I don’t have a clear memory of my first roll of film because photography has been a hobby of mine since I was a kid. I can’t even remember when I started. I know I was in elementary school. Probably 4th or 5th grade? I remember that I had an point-n-shoot camera and my mom must’ve given me film for it and had it developed at the local convenience store. I might have paid for the developing and film out of my allowance. I will have to ask her sometime how this hobby started!
Anyway, it got me thinking that this might be a fun series to explore on this blog: my first photos.
I will start with this one. I love this photo. It is a photo of my dog, Crackers. She was such a sweetheart. We got her as a puppy when I was 5 and she died when I was in my early 20s, so she pretty much grew up with me. I even named her. I often have dreams about her.
Clearly I didn’t grasp the concept of composition yet. I was more about capturing moments on film at this stage….

My first roll was on our family Coronet 66, (hence the name of my blog) in about 1959 gulp. Like you composition was less of a priority than getting an image on film.

that’s awesome! I really want to know what camera I used now. I’m going to have to ask my mom! 🙂

I’m going to say my first roll of film was with a camera I borrowed from my dad. A Pentax K1000. I don’t have any of the photos, as they all pretty much stunk! And at $4 a roll to develop them, circa 1980 or so, I quickly gave up shooting film! I had to wait til the early 2000s for a digital camera to take up photography as “art”
