What I Did On My Summer Vacation - In 1973 One thing I packed for my first ( and so far only ) international trip was my new camera , a Minolta 35 mm SLR ( single lens reflex ) . The whole business of doing photography with such a sophisticated instrument , rather than my old Kodak Instamatic , was so strange to me at the time I had to refer to the manual whenever I attempted to use it . So I made certain to bring along the little white instructional booklet , too .

Question: Why did this person need to bring a camera with him ?
