As it's World Photography Day and almost a full moon ( that's tomorrow in my time zone), this image was almost in the "must take" category. Best viewed large.

Captain Cook named the Tollgate Islands when he mapped Australia's east coast in 1770. This is the view from my local beach, where they do indeed look like the gateway to a wider world. I thought this an appropriate image for World Photography Day 2023. It also places empasis on the oceans - now warming alarmingly worldwide. We, as photographers, can assist by recording changes to our global environment. The PiP shows my first camera, a Model 2A Box Brownie of about 1932 - it was very much a family "hand-me-down" when it passed to me. With it is my first SLR, a Minolta SR1 of 1964.

My first SLR camera, a Minolta SR-1 purchased new in the early 1960s. As a promotional gift, the camera came with a free Japanese geisha doll on a base with a Minolta plaque. It seems this must have been a very limited promotion, because I have been unable to find any other images of one of these dolls. A slightly late image for World Photography Day. Another image of the geisha doll in the clickable PiP.
