The daily prompt asks – Describe and item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?
I have two things that I was attached to as a youth. My Louisville Slugger baseball bat from little league days, and my first camera. I still have both of these. One is now a security device and the other sits with all the old antique cameras I have collected over the years from the family.
The Bloganuary prompt asks “Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?”
I thought about a car from my youth I loved but I have no idea what became of the 74 Camaro. So I’ll go with two other things I do know what became of them. Well before the car I had an interest in photography.
The old Kodak camera my Mom and Dad used over the years was my first taste in the mid-60s. I loved it and with my Mom’s help, I was able to get my first camera I believe in 1969 or 1970. It was a huge step up and I loved it.
I still have both along with a ton of other old cameras from my family.
I also have my old glove and bat from my teen years. But it would take a while to find them and then clean them up to be photographed. I’ll have to get the bat ready for the grandson. Do they still use wood bats?
