Every photographer remembers their first camera.

For me, it was the Canon AE-1. My parents gave it to me when I was fifteen years old, and it became the camera that taught me to see the world through a viewfinder. Decades later, after countless photographs and memories, I finally passed it on.

This shirt is a tribute to that camera and to the beginning of a lifelong journey in photography. Featuring a collage of details from my original Canon AE-1, it's designed for photographers who appreciate the craft, the history, and the stories behind the gear.

Whether you're heading to a photo walk, teaching a class, or simply enjoying a summer afternoon, this shirt is a conversation starter for anyone who loves photography.
