Not to forget the small gadget pouches climbing up the straps.
Nice Walker. All those people walking about unaware of each other, some in overalls and boots, some with indoor shoes. What is it, a farm auction?

What is it, a farm auction? Sid, according to my father's notes it's a "Corn husking" that was held on 24 October, 1970, at "Bonnie Blink", a Masonic retirement home built on a 266 acre farm in Maryland. The name "Bonnie Blink" supposedly means "Beautiful view" and was the name of the original farm. Pop took an entire roll of film there and it appears as if several hundred people attended. There are working steam traction engines, a brass band and lots of food being served. I selected the picture of the photographer because I thought members here would appreciate seeing the cameras. The lower one is a Spotmatic, I think, while the other is an older Pentax model with a meter attached. Walker |

Very nice picture, Sid mentioned the movement and he is right. The picture is a kind of disordered merry go round, in a positive meaning  . An other characterization if you like. It is like an Indian street crossing ;D . Peaceful Easter Walker and Sid ! Reiska |
