So, obviously, my dad can't register on the forum, he would if he could, but this is his own work, Frank Spencer's posthumous entry. A picture of me, of course. 1949? Voigtlander Vito or, just maybe, a borrowed Leica. Film unknown. The ball is not a rugby ball but an american football brought on a visit by my uncle. It's in Victoria Park, Keighley I'm particularly well dressed, as always.
Yes, that's Morning Dress, bizarre. I was wearing it too... in fact I considered entering the shot of me on account of it showing a full head of hair, but sadly it wasn't taken by me even though on my camera. Lucky you!
Let’s see it anyway Chris without photographic proof we will never believe you had hair!
my god that was a difficult one for me to post.
That’s an awesome post Mark, a fantastic story.my god that was a difficult one for me to post.

Same combo, Werra 1 (50/2.8 Tessar) and unknown film. Sticking those early negatives back in their envelopes without sleeves and keeping them in a box for 50 years or so didn't do them any favours!

In my training courses I say to delegates that I'm a lot better looking without my specs. Generally someone will suggest that I take them off so that they can see if they agree, whereupon I explain that I actually mean I look better in the bathroom mirror before I put my specs on. An example of a misunderstood statement!Sometimes I do, as I stare at the ravaged remains in the shaving mirror each morning!
Mark,
Very hard to get a film shot of that layout when all your film stock is on the table.
Congrats @TheBigYin
