The prompt for Day 21 is “Treasure” and this is one of my most cherished treasures — my father’s first “serious” camera — a Rollieflex, twin lens reflex — given to him by my mother in the late 1950’s. He used it to take some of his best images — and there were many of those. I particularly prize his black and whites.
He was passionate about photography and he passed that on to me and my sister, Elena. I know we both feel very connected to him when we’re out with our cameras making images — a connection that transcends this dimension of space and time.
Oh my goodness, Sherry, what a beauty this is, and how fortunate you are to have it.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Awesome looking camera. What a special treasure and memory.
A treasure for sure, both the camera and his passion for photography. Two wonderful gifts he left you both! And what a stunning image of your mom.
