Collecting Photographica by Nigel Richards I have been collecting cameras since the late 1960's. The start of the collection was when, at the age of eight I was given a coloured Kodak folding camera that belonged to my Great Aunt Mable. This was no normal folding Kodak, it was a turquoise Vanity complete with case, box and even the inner wrapping paper. This got me interested in photography. I then started contact printing the family negatives using Printing out paper in wooden frames left on the window sill in the sun. If you are not familiar with this process the paper is very slow and exposure is judged by opening a flap at the back of the printing frame and seeing if the paper was dark enough. When judged to be correct the paper was fixed. There was no need for a darkroom. Various cameras came and went, most bought from what became Vintage Cameras in South London. My first new camera was a Zenith 3m and I very quickly bought a 135mm telephoto lens for it and got into club photography. Initially the collection consisted of anything that clicked. Later when finances allowed it grew. I concentrated on Sub-miniature, Coloured Kodaks, Brass and Mahogany and Victorian Images. As in any collection there are always other types of camera that take your fancy or that are kept for just sentimental reasons.
