Do you folk ever go back over your old images and wonder where the people in them are now, or what they are doing.....what sort of lives they have had? These images were taken towards the end of November 1961 in a village along the Black Sea coast, probably near Samsun. 35mm camera slides scanned from the originals after many years of travelling and shifting, and in all temperatures. Taken in the days before mobiles, tour parties, bus loads of tourists with cameras..............everything was the way it had been for centuries in those days - a totally different world (but a digital camera would have been great!!)

Strange car, strange people, gorgeous kids

I have to agree with you oldtigger. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to travel by car from London through to Tehran in the '60s.

I would think that the pictures I took back in the 60's,70's and even the 80's were either on an old Brownie and those pictures are in my parents ton of pictures and the ones after that period were taken on a Yashica camera and those were my war days then came the Pentax K1000 and god only knows that I shot roll after roll of film on that camera, then I got married for the second time and I owned a Nikon FM 4 or 5 I can't really remember which one but it was the love of my little life and there I took several courses at the community
college and learned the in and outs of the camera and the use of the dark room made us learn how to use the camera to it best. I love the old prints that show how the mistakes were made and after a mistake it cost one the developing and the roll of film so if you made a mistake you tried to remedy the mistake with the next couple of rolls you ran through.

Guess I will see if I can find out where the old prints went I am sure there is an old shoe box in the bottom of a closet somewhere that has my name on it. If I can find it we will put them up for nothing less that a chuckle of the hair styles of the era:

Now we have digital's .... and I do not have the best but now I save the cost of developing and film and spend it on cameras lens and more cameras .... OH a half way decent printer is also helpful and I have like every body else owned a few.
