Hi, I just found a photo book with my first images. Of course I'll never remember the camera or the film used, specially because some are square format (126 film probably) and others rectangular (35mm probably but could be 110). This is one of the first images I ever shot. It was 1972, I was 8 years old. I guess this was my father's Cal 40 at the Rio de Janeiro Yacht Club. I don'te remember exactly and can't see its name so, if it's not a Cal 40, don't kill me please. I specially like the composition of this image, the way the motor boats on second plane fill the gap between the front of the boats in firs plane. And also the boat's curved lines agains the straight lines of the houses on the background. Of course it all must be due to serendipity, I doubt I had that photographic consciousness at the time. But a certain eye is present, hehehe... I'd like to know what you think of it, if you'd bet something on these eyes as a photographer's one at the time. I enjoyed the experience of analysing the images I first shot decades later. I'll share more of them with you. My best to all, José Azevedo
Hmmm. I know how you feel. I had many other moments that I remember to have shot - like my first trip to Disneyworld in 1974, when I had a great shot from NASA's building - that seems to have been lost. We moved a lot in these years and, well, that makes it easier to lose things. Anyway, I hope you find some of your past someday.
Unfortunately, my photographic collection only goes back a little more than twenty years. Before that my dad would have had all thos pictures; and he appears to have lost them.
