My Dad
I happened to notice that the theme for the Flickr October Explore Takeover was Film. And that got me to thinking fondly about my early days learning photography. This was one of my favorite photos taken ±50 years ago in my dad's living room. Taken with Tri-X 35mm film. (Digitized by scanning the negative.)
As a side note, somewhere around this time the Des Moines Register had a contest to select the Iowan with "The Most Distinguished Nose." We nominated dad, my sister-in-law wrote the commentary, and I supplied the photo (of course, an actual hard copy print in those days) You are looking at the runner-up. (Should have been first place in my book!)
Another side note. My dad had a cousin with similar facial characteristics. His nickname was Hooknose Harry. 😁
Third side note. I know dad would have enjoyed this post.
