Early start in photography

My sister found this photo and sent it to me. It was taken summer 1953. That’s me with the camera. This is a photo of a paper photo.
Debbie - no theme

Oh what wonderful memories! so you were always a family photographer ;-)

@ludwigsdiana What I think is interesting is that someone is taking a photo of me taking a photo and yet everyone seems unaware of the other photographer.

that is fantastic! I would never have been allowed to do that at his age I'm sure. I do like the natural feel of you being photographed as you photograph someone else.

question - I don't suppose you have the photo that you were taking? wouldn't that be something!!!!

What a great, great image!! Who took the photo of you I wonder??

so much going on here. what i particularly love is how your father (i assume?) is holding you so carefully to help you get the image

@brigette @ludwigsdiana @shutterbug49 @koalagardens @30pics4jackiesdiamond @pistache @sarahrene I asked the two unanswered questions: Who took the picture and what about the picture I got. Apparently there is no evidence in the pile of paper photos for either answer. It was in my father’s papers (he is holding me). I think that is his camera in my hand. Most likely one of my grandfathers was taking the photo. They were both photographers and one of them was a photo painter for Kodak.
