Old Minolta Camera given to me by my mother.

This is a small blast from the past, considering that every one has cameras on their cell phone and film to many is of no use. This is where art in photography was the in depth knowledge of how light, color and your equipment made great photographs. You did not know what you had till it was developed. Anyway my mother gave this to me and I remember her having this in the late 70s. Road trips, family gathering or just because it was a good candid shot. My mom knew this camera like the back of her hand. Good times…good times. The model is an XD-11 35mm camera made by Minolta has other little do-dads that make this an awesome set such as the 80mm zoom lens, 200mm zoom lens, Minolta auto 200x detachable flash, and Minolta auto winder “D”. Hope to get as good with this thing as my mom.
