As far as I know this is the first photo I ever took. I was around 12 years old. We were on a family road trip and stopped for lunch. Next door there was a pond with swans and I wanted to take a picture, so my dad gave me his camera to take a shot. (I think it was a Rollei TLR, loaded with black & white film). After the trip my dad brought me this contact print. I was a little disappointed that the swans were too small to see in the picture, but I saved it. Years later, when it turned up in an old scrapbook I decided it was a nice picture after-all, at least for a 12 year old beginner, so I scanned it for my collection and now its online.
