Probably not my first photo but this is the first print I made in my darkroom (closet). Picture is of my brothers bike - probably taken on my first camera...some version of the Kodak 126 Instamatic, taken in the early 1970's after my parents gave me a darkroom film processing / printing kit - it would only make contact prints.

My first camera was a Kodak Brownie Starmite, and the first time I can recall using it was when I went on a Scouting trip when I was about 12. I still recall some of the photos I took, but I don't think they exist anymore. Last time I recall actually looking at them was some 45 years ago or so. It wasn't the camera that pushed me over the edge, though. No, I went through a series of 110 cameras, and I can recall the incident that led me to buy my first 35mm SLR. I attended an airshow with my 110. At the show, I saw all the other photographers with their impressive arrays of gear, including one stalwart type who was wielding a Pentax 6x7 with that big wooden grip. I was feeling pretty emasculated, and when I got my pics back from developing, I knew that it was time. So I bought a new Canon AE-1 with 50/1.8 and it's been downhill ever since
