Good idea! The outfit, however, looks more like it’s from the 21st century. 😇

If we’re going to do it, let’s do it right!
Here’s a bit of 50s-style pop, captured around 1962 by my father using an Altissa Altix camera.

It does "pop" - in the bottom left corner! 🙂


That’s how it was back then. A young family and very little money. You’d simply borrow a misaligned camera from the photography club at your VEB, one where you had to guess the distance, and yet, you’d end up with such fantastic shots.😎
Today, people are constantly buying and selling high-end gear worth thousands of dollars, obsessively testing for corner sharpness, chromatic aberration, bokeh, and heaven knows what else, only to wind up taking the exact same photos that you feel like you’ve already seen a million times over on Instagram. 😄
