About
I know that this image lacks sharpness and greatness, however, I did some P/S work on it. And keep in mind that the MINOX negative was about the size of half of a 39 cent U.S. Postage stamp. Recently I stated that my first camera ( other than a Hawkeye) was a Yashica. But last week , I found some old MINOX negatives and a few prints that have survived all these years. I have no idea where the MINOX camera eventually went-probably sold it to a pawn shop. I was in the U.S. Navy, when we were in port in Newport, Rhode Island. As I recall there were a lot of young people in town that week for the famous NEWPORT FESTIVAL. I took this photo with a minox, on the main street of Newport. The guy with the beard needs a lot more light on his face, but I was in the very beginning of my "career" as a photographer. So, basically I looked for odd situations or "odd" people.
