I saw post this #My1stPhoto challenge. I may be older than him as it was a long time before I had any sort of digital camera. I do have my old photo album and here is an early page where I know I took the photos. I am not sure if they were the very first ones I took.
I was obviously fascinated by the pigeon wandering around the garden. The grey rabbit (Smokey) was mine and died not long after this. The white one (can't remember name) lived a lot longer and was quite vicious.
The camera was something like this one with the film cartridge and disposable flash cubes.

When you had just a few pictures on each film and had to wait to get them delivered you would not take so many photos as it was not cheap. I still have quite a few from back then.
