Hey all. As if the Mopar or classic car hobby wasn't expensive enough, some or even most enjoy another hobby that is either totally different or perhaps compliments or passion for cars.

For me? It's both photography and vintage camera collecting. I buy and sell too, so it is slightly self funding.

I've been collecting cameras only slightly longer than being into cars. Both have taken my money happily though, and here is the better part of my collection :

I have cameras dating from the late 1800s up to the 90s and everything in between. About 70% of what you see is something I still use or can still use as well. I develop my own film, so a lot of them still get use frequently. And the big one in the second picture? Yeah, that's a camera too. A WWII Naval Reconnaissance camera they would strap to aircraft and take pictures of what was below them after a strike. It's almost 4 feet tall standing up like that. It's one of my favorites.

I'm only 23, so while my baby pictures were on film, I didn't grow up with it.

I still own digital equipment and do photoshoots of families and mostly of Mopars and other cars.

I heard @67Dart273 would get kick outta this, and possibly others too! To keep the convo going, I love to see what others also collect or another hobby. Parts collecting is a hobby too lol. I plan on bringing one camera and a few rolls of film to Woodburn, looking forward to it.
