The beginning

This was one of my very first shot that I deemed to be good and sort of kindled my interest in photography. I had just returned from Europe and the camera was  borrowed Kodak Retina folding 35 mm camera that was made in Germany. I had taken a few interesting photos in Venice and Paris before this also with the retina but this image of downtown Manhattan from Brooklyn Height's promenade made me realize that I could take pictures. Following this, I took courses and the rest, as they say, is history, It's a tribute to Kodak's Kodachrome II that this slide, shot in September of 1967, has kept it's color and brilliance.
