Great to see her in original form.
I must try and improve the image of her as Roe Deer at some time.
That shot was taken with a kodak instamatic so not to much hope!

Derek

Thought you might like it - it was taken with my trusty Voigtlander (just a year old then and always used to take crisp shots) As far as I am aware it is still in working order - I still have it (I have squirrel tendencies and rarely throw anything away which is why my recent move was such a nightmare !!!! so many things in so many boxes), but with a fixed length lens it was not much use for shipping and was replaced with a Praktica in 1973.........
glad you enjoyed Rotterdam...........must try and make it next time
all the best
Allan
