Notes

This is the first photograph I ever took with a rangefinder camera. It was my Dad's brand new Argus C3. It was so heavy and awkward to use. It seemed like it took forever to focus. every time I thought I had it right, he'd check the focus and tell me to keep working on it. Finally everything was just right and he told to shoot if I was ready. I squeezed the shutter release and nothing happened... I had forgotten to cock the shutter. After correcting that under my Dad's grin, I squeezed it off and felt the joy I continue to feel when I've got something special to shoot.
