Rolleiflex 2.8F, with close-up lenses.
This is also Day 600 of the daily shots on Bluesky, and for the moment this is the last of them.
There are more in the archive, but I'm cutting the pace and future photo posts will be occasional, not daily.

I never met the guy. I got to know just a little of who he was through his file packets of negatives, though only when I was able to scan them in 2004.
We did perhaps share something in perspective. This first shot was taken by my father in Sudan around 1940 - a small child holding a kid goat.
Observational snapshooting, so I got to see what he saw.

Pentax MZ-5n.

@Tarnport@mastodon.green I remember that skyview, and feeling frustrated I didn't have a wide enough lens to capture the effect. This has worked very well.
