My favorite shot is one of my own. I took a photograph of the setting sun and the needles at Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach, OR. The shot was takened with an old Kodak Medalist II. The Medalist used 620 film which you could still buy back in 1970. I still have the old Kodacolor negative. Occasionally I enlarge the neg to get an 11 x 14 print. I give this print to only special persons who have affected my life in some positive way. Jim A.
