The Photographer

Sydney, Australia


I think this is the earliest photograph of me carrying a camera. I am 10 years old here.
I remember the day quite well - a visit with my cousins to the wonderful Taronga Park
Zoo in Sydney, Australia. A street photographer was 'working' the Animal Petting area,
and it didn't take much persuasion to have me in front of the Speed Graphic or whatever!
If my memory is correct, this is the 620 Folder you can see in my Camera gallery.

Yes, at a certain age you can remember the occasion a photograph was taken, and who was taking it, and how the wind felt on your face, and the scents and sounds.
Magic, revisited.
