A picture taken with my new (used) camera that I got on Monday. It's the original brand, Hit, and afterwards, several other companies made lots and lots of copies. They don't take very good pictures, but I did get a decent image out of it. The negatives it produces are 14x14mm - very small. This is a view off my front porch, over toward my neighbor Ginger's house. You can see my 1996 Ford Taurus station Wagon in the middle of the frame.
