My name is Sabahudin, Saba for short. I am 25 years old and I am a 1st generation American. My parents immigrated to the U.S. from Montenegro and had me here, in Connecticut, where I grew up with my 2 brothers. I have brought my camera with me almost everywhere since the age of 12.
Growing up, and still to this day, my family runs a pizzeria. As an 11 year old, I would ask my father for 5-10 bucks every time I did chores around the house or the restaurant so I could save up for a camera. After about a year I managed to save up around $600.
I biked to Staples one afternoon and waved down an employee to unlock the camera case for me so I could take my camera to the register. The man at the register looked at me weird (mind you I'm 12) and rang the camera up for just under $600. I pulled out one of those zipper bank bags that Bank of America used to hand out in the '90s--2000s and I handed the cashier just under $600 cash for the camera. On that day 13 years ago, I biked home with my first ever Canon camera.
