This is my first camera. It was a present given to me at age 11. For all I know, at the time, it
perhaps cost no more than $5 (if that). In any event, decades later, I still keep that camera,
if only for sentimental reasons... a tangible reminder of when I started shooting.

Here's the same camera back in... well... let's just say age 12, my first *self-portrait*.

And this was the setup for tonight's image *above* -- the camera itself suspended by way of
thin clear thread (like a fine fishing line).
