2.25 - "Needs Work" 

Photo taken in Paris in 1966 with a Pentax Honeywell Spotmatic 35mm (I had a 50mm and a 120mm and this shot may have been with the longer lens. My dad bought this camera soon after it was introduced, in 1964. The Spotmatic was the first 35mm camera with a through-the-lens meter. He handed it down to me when I took a trip to Europe with two friends in '66. I assume this was Kodak Tri-X film. I scanned the negative a few years ago and used Photoshop to spruce up the original negative. I mainly adjusted the contrast/brightness and cropped it. I bought a KowaSix (2¼ square SLR) in the early 70s and didn't use the Pentax much after that. I kinda lost interest in photography and sold the Kowa sometime in the 80s and didn't own a decent camera until about 40-some years later.
