Yesterday we had our weekly gathering of 6 oldies. One of the group, Ralph, was chief photographer for Telecom in Perth, Western Australia for ten years until his retirement. Prior to that he was in the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) for 20+ years as a photographer and served in Vietnam during that conflict; Malaysia and Woomera rocket range and as Ralph says....’also at the local pub at Werribee’. Plenty of stories from Ralph about his life adventures.
Ralph yesterday gifted his collection of cameras to me. Some nice gear in that lot and even if they are all from the time of film, I think I might source some film and shoot some photos through the medium format Zenza Bronica. At our old house, I built a darkroom and processed film and printed photos. I taught photography for some 12 years and have gone completely digital in cameras and photoshopping images.
The new acquisition will join my camera collection. Click images to enlarge
