Probably Yashica FR1 with 50 f2. Tri-X I expect, in the days when I could afford to buy it.

This is a friend's autistic son obsessing about a chest of drawers.

A bit abstract, but I thought this one suited. no one loves them anymore so they stand un used and ignored these days

River Nene?

Seen from Trockener Steg above Zermatt in about 2001.

Billy is in there, but you do have to look quite hard.

Kodachrome

It was easier to scan the photo than find the neg...taken so long ago and can't remember what camera I used...erm looks like a bit of flare on the left.

Well done ChrisR and thanks for the mention, but do remember I entered this at my local camera club contest and the theme was "lonely or loneliness" .....when at my old address which was over 34 years ago and I didn't win either

 

[Flighter]

Well done and congratulations both.

 

[ChrisR]

Thanks very much, just one of those opportunities you stumble across from time to time. I loved Brian's shot, too. I've an idea for a theme, but it might take a day or to to get it up as we're away on a walking holiday just now and it's quite a full schedule. Aiming for tomorrow afternoon, hope that's OK.
