This is the first ever truly good photograph (or so I felt) I took during a photography lesson I did at school. It was taken with a manual black and white film camera. I also developed the film and printed the image onto photo paper myself. I was very pleased with myself.
What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though. — J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
