My first

 

 

My first real camera.  A Petri 7S manual camera with all the settings.  I bought it at a pawnshop while I was on the island of Okinawa in 1964.


 

And got my first best picture.


 

Gene Stencel was the subject.  In the barracks.  A Quonset hut.  He had a candle.  I saw the lighting potential.  Got him to shield the flame with his hand.  Timed exposure in the dark.  Nailed it!
