Canon K2 (The Film Years)

     I was cleaning/packing for a move and found the drawer that all of my old/broken work cameras were stored in. It seemed like a great time to go through my photo collection and walk down memory lane. I'm breaking this into posts by camera starting with my first work camera, the Canon Rebel K2.      My dad bought me this camera when I gave up pre-med and was taking my first photography class in college. It was a black and white film photography class, which was dying out but still around. He got it for me at a Ritz Camera in Washington, PA. I used it for about two years before I retired it because it had an electrical short that no one could solve, and I couldn't trust it for my work as a photojournalist at the time.      Below are some of the notable adventures I had with this camera:     I already mentioned the B&W photography class, and while none of those photos really stick out to me (let's be honest, they were bad), the class itself deserves an honorable mentio
