Mom and Dad in Duarte


Taken in 1981 on July 16th on my 26th birthday. It was taken with my new Hasselblad 500 C/M camera and an 80mm lens. I had bought it at Flag's Camera Shop on Lake in Pasadena. I was jazzed and had Mom and Dad pose for me. I bought it for $800.00 to $900.00 used. I love that camera. I still have it. What a differance 27 1/2 years make. I have the 150mm lens too. I figure the investment was well worth it. I made a bunch of money with it over the years. All the Digital DECService Awards portraits were taken with it except when I rented equipment at Samy's Camera. Too fun. The original is in color.
