Adopted Relics
It may be said(2.00 / 1 vote)
That I’m a nostalgic fool
I won’t argue that
I admit I’m very old school
Its no wonder why
Old cameras I collect
They captured a moment in time
For that they’ve earned my respect
Adopted relics
Saved from obsolete waste
To my retirement home
And the smile on my face
Photography progression
Leaps and bounds of advancement
From 1814’s first image
Progressing with enhancement
From basic to high tech
A camera for everyone
From amateur to professional
Even just for fun
All equally loved
Dotingly cared for
All various styles
SLR’s to Box Tengors
My adoptees
Nikon, Pentax and Canon
Sharing shelf space with Yashica
Kodak, Brownie and Zeiss Ikon
