Aren't you glad we live in a world of diverse culture that gives birth to a vast variety of people, places and things? Something that is odd or different always seems to catch my photographic eye. Peculiar furniture, art, gizmos,and thingamajigs all need to be photographed. Old stuff that isn't around anymore is a good place to start. "What in the world is That?" or "I've never seen one of Those." means you should capture it in an image. Here are a few examples. Perhaps you have some of these in your collection.
In the early 1960's my Father purchased something that changed my life forever. . .A Polaroid camera. It was rather strange in appearance, but it was the latest and greatist in technology at the time. You could snap the shutter, and in seconds out came a picture that slowly developed in front of your eyes in just a few minutes! It was a like having a portable darkroom. Magic! That camera was a springboard into the next decade when I bought my first 35 mm SLR. As they say, the rest is history.
