First shot, a photo from Valais, West

Photographer's Note

I received a camera for the first time in 1984, when I was 10. It was a Kodak 400 and I found the album with all the photos taken with it. Among all the picture of my family, I found this one taken during hollidays in Switzerland.

It was taken from a telesiège while we were going down to the village of Champex.

Of course, this is not my best shot posted on TE but I post it to add a picture on My earliest shot theme of Richard

Salut Fred,
et bienvenue au club !
Mais j'ai un peu les boules en voyant ta photo, elle a un mois de plus que la mienne et en plus tu es plus jeune que moi grrrr ;-)
Comme pour moi la qualite pas au top, je me demande comment font Brigitte et Izzet, bon Izzet ca compte pas il avait un Leica... Mais on sent bien que le PdV est grandiose depuis la cabine.
Bon dimanche,
Jean-Yves

Hi Fred, thanks for pointing this out to me (actually I think you can only logically have one in this theme, but never mind.

Really very interesting to see this, and very impressive for a 10 year old. So right from the start you've shown an interest in landscapes. You've obviously had the eye from the start, probably understanding natural composition without having to be taught it.

Hou là ! en 84 j'étais jeune et beau.
Mes premières photos c'était du noir et blanc et je les ai faites en Egypte en 1964 et elles sont restées là bas.
Mais tu nous donnes là une bonne idée, je vais essayer de retrouver ma première photo de France.
Celle ci à un peu souffert par les ans et on remarque le grain typique du 400 ASA comme cela s'appelait à l'époque.
Bonne nuit
