1970's New Plymouth 1

Click on photos for larger viewPortrait made in 1973 with my Rolleiflex. I made a series of these close up portraits while at the New Plymouth race days. I had just managed to buy a close up filter with parallax correction. It took about 5 weeks to come from Germany. I became torn between the sheer beauty of the larger Rollei negatives and the speed of the smaller Leica. For years I worked with both cameras.

The argument was at a gala day in Inglewood. I was drawn to the people by the yelling and screaming.
