Viewing Album:  110 Teen Railfanning, 1974
 
By:Bob Kise
Dates:6/15/1974 - 7/12/1975
Album Info:Started shooting trains at age 13 in 1973 with a 126 Instamatic. My Dad bought me a Kodak pocket Instamatic 40 in 1974, which was good for 1/300 sec"with sun on snow. Most of my 110 Kodachromes are muddy, but here's the best of the lot; the subject matter is long-gone, so I thought some of you would like to have a look. Thanks to my Dad for encouraging me and buying me a 35 mm Exakta in 1975. (All dates approx.)
