Homage to my father

My father was a keen photographer and he is the one who introduced me to photography at an early age by giving me my first camera when I turned 8. He always supported my hobby, bought upgrades for me up until the 80's with my first SLR camera. He passed away in 1987, I wish I could have known him longer. It is 30 years ago and today would have been his birthday so I dedicate this to him.

 

The photo was taken on the boulevard in Gijon, Spain in the 1960's. I am the little girl in the picture and I love the way he came down low to shoot this portrait. In some ways it reminds me of the works of Jack Vettriano.

 

So on this occassion something very different from my usual postings. I hope you will enjoy this.
