I have loved taking pictures since I was in elementary school. I got my first Kodak camera with the old-fashioned films. Obviously the photos were terrible but I persevered!

My dad had this old Lubitel (see picture below). It was the truly old school camera where the viewfinder was on top and you had to look down into it from above. He would bring it out for special occasions and set it up on a tripod and we would take a really serious family picture! I have to find one to post here.
