1969

I came across some of my old negatives in the attic and decided to scan some of them and

play around with them in Photoshop. I was just beginning my long, on and off again,

relationship with photography when I took this candid shot of my grandfather with my new

Yashica twin lens reflex (6x6) camera that I had just acquired for use in my University of Florida photography course (which was being taught by noted photographer Doug Prince).

Thanks for viewing. -Jim

What a beautiful tonal range - lovely!

Looks really good.

I really appreciate your comments. Obviously, it has lots of nostalgia value to me. -Jim

This is a great image. Very well composed, and beautifully captured. I love images from the past.

What a wonderful photograph! The tones are exquisite and the composition is beautifully balanced and sustains the feeling of times past.

I remember the days back in the 60s when I used to skip school and hang out at a friends house on Madison Av. The man in the photo above is my Uncle Jim, and he used to go home for lunch every day from his business in Kingston. He used Madison Av for his daily journey back and forth from work to home. We were sure to make sure he didn't see us or he would of busted my tail!! Or, at least made sure it got busted. The photo is so clear you can almost read the date on the news paper. Everything my cousin Jim does is almost perfect, kinda like his dad Rudy.
