Describe a Favorite Photo Shot With That First Camera

Two were my favorite photographs, both taken the same day and at the same place. In a train station. The first photo: a path through which pass a pair of riders, the second, the front of the train station and the background the "Volcan de Nieve" of my town.

Why, How, and When I Switched From Film to Digital
