  2. Tim's negatives 1959 - 1971

1968 12 25 - 31 Christmas (selections)

At Christmas 1968 I got the best present ever - my own camera, a black body Nikkormat. I'd been using my dad's second Nikon F for a while but this Nikkormat was all mine. Here are snaps from the first few rolls - my family and friends, and test drives at Connaught Place and Chandni Chowk. Some gifts keep on giving.
