A hand me down (of course) when my Dad got a newer model. It was a Kodak Instamatic 100. Had a lot of fun with it... wish I still had it (pic below from google)

Those were everywhere in the 60s! Sadly they don't make the film cartridges for them anymore. Too bad too, because I see them all the time at thrift stores.

My first camera was a Kodak Brownie. Yeah - the little box with a lens on it. It was pretty cool to learn in the film days. I've been through about 20 cameras since then.
