Ilford was my paper of choice, though most of my chemicals were Kodak. I did really like using a bit of selenium toner!

My first camera ever was a (rather useless) Kodak pocket film thing. I think it was called Ektralite.
Then, shortly before his death in 1981, my grandfather on my father's side gave me his old Edixa camera. That changed everything...

These bluish throwaway flash cubes?
Just barely.
I do remember my grandfather using them for the obligatory Christmastime family photos, that would have been in the early 1970s. Before I went to school.

The show's jingle was the first song I learned according to my parents. (the show started in 1947, the year before I was born)
