A Portrait of a Photographer as a young boy

Inspired by the title of James Joyce's novel ' A Portrait of the Artist as a young Man' here is myself as 'A Portrait of a Photographer as a young boy'!

This shot was taken by me today through a slide, which is mounted inside a plastic viewfinder. They were quite the rage in the 70's! Then I remixed the image to get a dual shot.

The original shot was taken in a hotel in Blackpool of me aged about 9 (I think), holidaying with my parents in October for the Blackpool Illuminations.

We would go up on a Thursday and come back on a Monday or Tuesday by coach from Wiltshire.

Happy Days!

Well done. And then according to your profile picture you grew up from that cute boy to someone with a camera stuck to the front of your face. Ha. Ha. Ha. :-)
