I knew it only took 12 shots since it was a 120 twin reflex camera. I kept going back to them to get the film changed. They would never let me learn how to change the film, always saying it was to hard. After our trip I kept asking about when the lab would be done with my images. A month goes by and I go to my mom very concerned about the lab loosing my images. Turns out that they never put film in the camera. I was crushed, but it never happened again... Little did they both know how important photography was to me, but trust me they both knew after that day. 7 years later I sold my first image.

He just took me up on top of a hill and said "Pedal!" and pushed me down it! I learned pretty fast.

My favorite memory about those nights where the whole family spent time hanging around on the rooftop looking at the stars and talking about life. I'm usually the only kid around and I got to hear things that I should have never heard off

By the way, wonderful website. It's been extremely resourceful in my quest to become a photographer
