The New Camera

In 1967, my Parents bought a "big girl" camera for me. It was a Canon with automatic exposure settings, but the user still had to focus the image. The Canon replaced the old Brownie that I had carried on most visits to Brookfield Zoo and to other places, especially during the holidays.

Here are a few of the first images that I took with that camera:

Chicago, Illinois, Summer 1967. My Dad and my paternal Grandmother, Tatjana, stand on Michigan Avenue.
