Kensington Gardens

I took this photo of a friend way back in the sixties using a twin lens Rolleiflex camera. No automatic exposure or focusing in those days one had to use a light meter then work out apperture and speed before taking. I dont think photography suffered much for it though,maybe more photos about now but not so valued,so many of them tucked away in computers unseen.Much better to have them in a cardboard box and be able to pick them up to look at?
