Oympus PEN-D

...bought in Denpasar, Bali.

"One night, in about 1966, the illustrator Antonio Lopez took me to dinner in London with a photographer named David Montgomery. I told him I wanted to take some pictures. When David came to New York a few months later, he brought a little camera, an Olympus Pen-D half-frame. It cost about $35. He said, "Here,
use it like a notebook." And that was the real beginning." ~ Bill Cunningham
