Happy SUNday! – my dad

Brooklyn, New York, c1919.

This isn’t a souvenir picture; my grandfather drove a horse-drawn Borden’s milk wagon, and my dad, Paul, grew up around horses. He’s about 6 or 7 in this photo.

If you can get your hands on a lovely, near-mint model, go for it! The lens, the autofocus, and the autoexposure can’t be beat.
