This is my Dad's Voigtlander Vitessa and some of the familie's Kodak Ektochrome slides from the 60's.I loved helping my mom move the kitchen table so my brother and cousins and I could sit on the floor as my Dad would project our lives onto the bed-sheet screen . Miss my Dad! He would love 365.
“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
― Ansel Adams
Your photo made me instantly think of my dad. He loved photography as well, and also loved vintage cameras. Definitely hit me with a wave of nostalgia.
Oh what a wonderful story and you captured this nostalgic mood in here very well, love the POV and DoF and delicate tones too. That is a great quote too and so true, photography is a way to bring your innerlife for others to see, photography is actually very intimate and very personal way to tell about yourself and your thoughts when you think about it.
Stellar photograph and tribute! My father-in-law was a photographer for the US Army and as an amateur in his later years. He would also have loved the digital age and 365.
love the tribute ... such a fitting image with a beautiful narrative ... the best images are the ones that say etched in the heart and outlive any camera ...!!
I am so moved by this! My dad shot slide film too. I still have his slides he also had a movie camera when most people around us did not. We probably could not really afford it, but he was a Ga Tech grad and loved gadgets. We even had a real projection screen. We'd set it up in the living room and see slides and these super short movies because he never spliced them onto long reels. Both my parents are gone now....I really cherish those memories and the movies and slides. Years ago, i gave them all ( brothers too) the slides and movies on video tape. I did it the old timey way with a box with mirrors that i projected the images into and recorded them with a video camera in another opening. Anyway...the gift was such afun surprise! Now we need to out them on computer files .
@espyetta We were so lucky that our Dads recorded and photographed moments in our childhood.I would love to find an old working projector so I could show these slides to my nieces.Good idea about converting them to DVD.I am going to look into it.
