Still going through old photos as I prepare for Dad's funeral and came across this one I took in September 1986 of my parents on the Isles of Scilly. Scan of a print taken on my old OM10. This one always made me smile.
Such a lovely shot of your parents enjoying and exploring on their holiday. Nicely scanned from your OM10 - My 1st "proper " camera was an OM20 !! Fav.
@kvphoto You did indeed, well done. Her Olympus Trip. He often tried to get her interested in photography, but she wasn't really. However his daughter caught the passion! It was lovely to have that to share.
an OM10 , what a beautiful camera that was / is .
There's so much to like in the photo Casa' , the retro film colours, your dad's camera gear and accessories , his "on trend 2026 shoes" , your mum looking very much like you and possibly with an Olympus trip camera . I wonder what they were looking at ?
I'm so sorry I've not been up to date with you! I saw a comment on Issi's picture and came here. You're in my thoughts; to say that last goodbye is a tough one. I'm sorry.
I still look back on pictures from my father and mother- when my mother passed putting up photos wasn't a "thing" yet but for Dad we had some nice mementos and pictures. This one is so sweet- with them both lined up and viewing "whatever". I hope the photos and memories are comforting.
