For this challenge I’ve tried to find some pairs of objects. My first camera given to me when I was about eight years old and my current camera the Pentax KR10D. The Pentax of course is not brand new, state of the art but it is a darn site newer than the old plastic one.
A bit dusty but this is my first camera given to me around 1965.Pentax KR10D
An old RAAF DC3 at a museum and a modern passenger jet. I think it is an Embraer.
vintage aircraft at the Aviation Museum in Port Adelaide.
Virgin Airlines passenger jet from 2013.
Here’s a vintage tram in the tram museum in Launceston and a modern tram, or as they like to say now Light Rail vehicle in Adelaide.

This last one is an old and new from Picton, New Zealand where this hotel has retained the facade of the original pub but nothing else. I could not decide if I liked this or not.
Born in England in 1957 my family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008.
We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. David passed away in 2015 and I'm here on my own now but I have Cindy the dog and Polly the cat to keep me company.
I currently co-write two Wordpress blogswith my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and a "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania.

Interesting that you still have your first camera. Totally retro š

It takes 120 film. I was so proud of it when I got it. My mother let me try her Agfa box camera too. I still have that as well.
