Here are a few from my collection. A 1970s Polaroid SX-70, distinctive for being Polaroids only SLR. This one was given to me by my Uncle Harry. Also an Agfa Shur-Shot, which is a box camera from possibly the early to late 1930s, and a Kodak Tourist. The Tourist is a folding camera which dates…

Tokyo Cherry Blossoms
In 2014 I paid a visit to Tokyo, Shimane, and Matsue, Japan. I happened to be in Tokyo just as the cherry trees were in full bloom.
