A budding young camera collector named Henry bought a Polaroid J66 and, as he researched it, found my post on this camera. He’s working with an organization called Happen, Inc., a nonprofit arts organization that works with kids on creative projects. They reached out to me on this fellow’s behalf and arranged a video interview between us about collecting old film cameras, which went live today. I thought you might enjoy seeing it!

Nice work by both of you. I look forward to the next installment.

Thanks! This might have been my only moment on Henry’s show but it was fun to do.

That was so cute. I like seeing little ones get interested in these things. We need someone to keep it all alive when we are gone
-
As long as there are fellows like Henry, I’m not worried!

Well that was fun! Thanks to you and Henry for a neat piece!
-
The whole thing came out of the blue! I’m happy to have been a part of Henry’s show.

It is great to see a young kid interested in uncommon things and it is great to see an adult provide encouragement.
-
Yes! If someone had shown me that kind of interest when I was 9 and starting to collect cameras I would have felt a lot less weird!

That was fun to watch! Great to see your face and her you, Jim.

Thanks! I never did find my former “big radio voice” for this, but it turned out all right anyway.

Old mechanical SLRs your favorite, huh? So how does that jive with your love of the Pentax ME? Sorry, couldn’t resist the opening. It is a weakness I have that friends have learned about as in don’t leave him an opening.

I am a mystery surrounded by a riddle wrapped in an enigma.

Fabulous! I posted to my Twitter and Facebook. We need to encourage and support young people. And it was a great interview, especially for a beginner?
Also enjoyed recently finding out about your Box Camera Collection.

Thank you! It was a good interview, wasn’t it? And yes, I do like old box cameras. They’re easy fun to shoot.

Total fun! Both of you were really interesting – a kid, an adult, both with similar interests. Thanks for sharing!
-
I’ve loved cameras since I was a boy! It’s exciting to be able to encourage someone so young along in this interest.
-
I think it was a fun video and the two of you worked well together. I got into photography later in life after using a friend’s D70 for a year. Once I got that figured out – iso, aperture, f/stop – along with composition, I moved into film, and have enjoyed both since. And have bought a few too many cameras along the way, as well.

I enjoyed this a great deal. Good on Henry to interview an expert with such pertinent and digestible insight, and good on Happen, Inc. to enable this piece to be put together. Of course, good on you for offering such meaningful responses. Good on all parties, all around.
This is an organization I’d love to partner with. I’ll wait for someone interested in courthouses or showbiz pizza robots to get in touch! Haha!
-
Thanks Ted – it’s cool that there’s an organization that does this kind of work with kids!
