Scanned from the camera manual.

The first picture I took with my newly-acquired Minolta 110 Zoom SLR camera. The front of the lens was only about 4-5 inches away from the end of the bananas.

The Liverpool Legends are a Beatles tribute group and they're going to be playing at Marion, Illinois on October 8th, 2021. This is the sign on the Marion Culture Center where they'll be performing.
