Personal History - Paläophotoikum

The first shots I provably made myself and for which I also have memories (both on paper and - probably constantly refreshed by the existing prints - also in my mind) are from when I was about 4-5 years old.

 

This picture shows an early attempt of creative composition* including the shadow of the photographer ;-) - it's from the same roll of film as the surrounding two photographs.

 

* there's also a boring version showing both my parents in an orderly way, complete and side by side, but I guess that other shot was just a concession of the young and rebelling artist to the norms and wishes of his beloved ancestors...

 

 

The used camera btw. was a Kodak Instamatic - see lippisches-kameramuseum.de/Kodak/Kodak_Instamatic_100.htm or www.lomography.de/magazine/246159-lomopedia-kodak-instama...
