this week the Lens-Artists photo challenge is organized by a guest-host: Sue from The Nature of Things.
She told us that she’s currently locked at home as many (if not most) of us. So, there’s plenty of time to think about things and the past. That’s why she asked “pasttimes”.
When I thought about the topic, an idea came up to my mind: let’s dig in your digital archive and pick the oldest images you have.
I switched from film to digital in the fall of 2008. The first time I was only playing around with the camera to get used to it. I started photography in the late 1970s and bought my first own SLR in 1984. Up to now, none of the films of those days is digitized. In January 2009 I stumbled upon a group of photo enthusiasts organizing photography trips over the internet and I joined them for the February trip. These images are the oldest digital images I still have on my disk.
The funny thing is, the photo trip in February 2009 was to a garage for classic automobiles. Here you can buy and sell such cars. You can also find craftsmen being able to repair these old cars. The main floor of the garage is used to be a showroom. I really love such old automobiles. Unfortunately, they use the available space very efficiently. So, it’s no fun to take photos. There nearly no room to get good images. 😢
The second important thing is, I met a group of people I’m still friends with. We still meet once a month for photography trips. I’m so glad to have been brave enough to ask if I’d be allowed to join.
Take care

An excellent choice for the challenge! I know exactly what you mean about not having much space to get a good shot. I always have a hard time when I visit the Auto Museum. Photography certainly is a great way to meet people and venture out to places that you might not otherwise visit. Thank you so much for participating in the challenge.
You’re welcome 😊
Nice. Is that a Morgan?
As far as I remember, yes
Excellent!
Thanks, Leya 😊
