Bernard Jones (9), Plymouth Belvedere (10)
Bowie, Maryland, Spring 1977
When I was twelve, just having joined the Boy Scouts of America, I began working in earnest on my first merit badge, Photography.
My father very graciously let me drag him away from his yard work, to be my guinea pig for my "improper technique" shot of posing him directly in front of a tree, so that the trunk appears to be growing out from the top of his head. The next exposure is of his 1968 Plymouth Belvedere, my favorite car he ever owned, parked on the street in front of our house.
Happy Father's Day, Dad, and thanks for putting up with me all those years!
