Out for a spin

In about 1930, my father owned a tiny camera that produced half-frame

shots on 127 film. This is a scan of a contact print of the original

negative, which was something less than 4x3 cm. The lens on the

camera was a little better than a glass marble, and I am grateful that

the central part of the picture is as clear as it is.



Dad hung out with a bunch of natty dressers, young fellows who liked

to ride bikes in the summer, and to ski in the winter. I know the

name of one of these men, a good friend of my father until they each

got married and drifted apart. But the other two I do not know.



I don't know the date, but I'd guess these guys are all about 18 or 19

years old. My father was born in 1911, so I would guess this is around

1930.
