Which Came First?

Which came first? Photography or lifting weights in the gym? Well for me it was photography when I was about 9 years old and lifting when I was 12 years old. To this day those classic photographs we saw in the magazines years ago are still my favorites and yours too. All those photos you see of Arnold and others of that time are still the best. Photos before "photoshop", before digital cameras. I still shoot that way too when I can. One of my best subjects in front of the camera ever, Sean Jones, in the gym. Photographed by me on film with a medium format camera, no extra lighting either. I Love It!

And to answer the photographer questions... A Mamiya 645AFDII camera and Kodak Tri-X.
