Dad and his Halina - Portrait 6 by elza

Dad and his Halina - Portrait 6

My late father and his camera a Halina Paulette Electric. He was a keen photographer. The portrait (for portrait 6) is from 1957, the year of his marriage and entry into the Royal Malta Artillery. The camera itself (a vintage 1960 's 35 mm Film Camera) is worth a couple of shots on its own but having its owner next to it makes much more sense to me.
I'm not sure if I should have cropped the picture to eliminate the reflection. Any thoughts from anyone?
Beautiful nostalgic shot. I love reflections so I am happy you kept it.

Lovely shot. The reflection is perfect, it adds a lot of layers on many levels. You should try shooting the camera if you haven't already! I often shoot with my father in law's film camera, he won a photo competition with it, a film point and shoot....It is a remember when....

For me including the reflection was the right choice.
