Okay this is a real old one. I'm not saying exactly how old, but I shot it on Plus X with a Minolta twin lens reflex that was brand new at the time. I've always liked it but I'd enjoy some feedback to know if it's just my own sentimentality going nuts. Thanks for indulging me.

Steve - sentimental photographs are the best because they are a memory of a specific place and time. It also allows you to remember other things, like which camera and film used.
BTW a lovely shot.

This is a charming exposure So Cal Steve. The dog posed there is perfect. Hey- sentimentality, reminiscence, pawing over old photos - that's what it's all about! The pure enjoyment of the photography and all it's experiences. Fine image, thanks for sharing this one.

I really like these types of "old rustic" settings, and the photo brings back memories for you so even better...
Very nice, looks like a real family home with the dog out the front...

The old (abandoned?) house (top of thread) was in northwest Arkansas (USA) not far from where my mother was born and where we visited family every other summer. I've alway been partial to overgrown trees and the dog did indeed make the shot.
This one below was probably taken around the same time of my Mom and Dad. They are both gone now. So is the negative and I had to scan this from a silk finish print. Such is life. This one does mean a lot to me.
