I don't know if they still do it but when I was growing up, portrait photographers used to say "look at the birdie and smile." Anyway, here is the film camera I used in the 1980s and 90s: the Pentax ZX-50. It's still floating around the house somewhere but the battery contacts have corroded due to battery acid leakage. #photography https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/111/183/021/040/119/830/original/0e7f0f4f79464e74.jpg

I don't have many pictures from that ZX-50 -- the film is somewhere in an old trunk in my garage, buried in a pile of thousands of things I need to throw out someday. But hunting through my Lightroom catalog, I did find some shitty scans of old prints taken in Oaxaca, Mexico. They are crap but good enough for #ThrowbackThursday You'll need to click on the second photo to view the full panorama. https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/111/183/116/717/858/010/original/c7f4b16c8edcbcc1.jpg https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/111/183/117/348/819/230/original/a09b192d742deb40.jpg
