My Father's Shirts

Where did I get my appreciation for a certain kind of shirt?  Probably from my father.

  2. Great pictures of your father ; tweed jackets are always a good look . You can tell from the pictures that he (your father) displays confidence and considerable charisma which are the prime requisites of a leader .

  3. Leicas. My first was my grandfather's (an M2) and I learned to develop film at boarding school. Alas, no more film for most, but my son still enjoys all that immensely.

    1. The cameras in the sailplane shot however are both Nikons: a rangefinder S2 (?) on the left and an SLR model F on the right.

  4. Calm seas are a good thing when using a straight razor on a sailboat. I like how that photo caught fog on the water.
