Anyone else still have the first pictures you've ever taken? I mean like "arty" photos...not snapshots.

I'm curious...

Here's a few of my first one's that I took with a ghetto Kodak EZ200 a long time ago...

Well if you restrict it to "arty", not sure if I have any of those :-)

but Yeah, I was going through some negs a few months ago and found the first film I ever exposed. Cannot even scan them (unless I send them out) since they are 4x5 negs (B&W obviously since colour was very expensive, certainly for kids stuff). It was an old camera my father had, so was dated even by the mid 70's standards.

Then I have a whole lot of those horrible horrible 110 negs - have not bothered scanning these (although I could mount them in a slide and do it). I may even still have that camera now that I think of it.

For some reason I have always kept the negs and I am not sure why. I have thousands of 35mm negs & slides.

Did I say, I love digital for the convience :-))

This is the first "artsy" shot I took. I went to a photography school for orientation, and they gave us some shooting time. I am not sure what kind of camera it was... but it was medium format (4x5 film. and the images were displayed upside down and backwards) It also had a long shutter speed. Anyways, I had blast shooting with it, and would love to do it again sometime.

I recently scanned it into my computer, added a border and text. I titled it "Self Portrait". I still have a huge one framed and hanging on my wall today!

I still have the very first photo I ever took. I was around seven and my mom was dating a Secret Service agent that protected President Nixon. I took a picture of the President when he was visiting Camp Pendleton in 1972. He stopped for the picture and I remember him saying in a low tone to me "Hurry up kid and take the picture" It was actually a pretty good picture.
