It's me in the pram, not behind the camera. My father was behind the Flexaret IV. In 1959.
I believe the Flexaret was sold in large numbers to amateurs in Norway some 10 years earlier. A few months after taking this picture my dad went modern, bought a Ricoh 300 and shot slides mostly. I keep both cameras and all his negatives and slides.
This looks like a still from a 1930s "Buck Rogers" episode. He is about to enter the scene on an old Indian motorcycle and save the kid from the pram that is actually running downhill. Buck hands the kid back to his mother and pleased with himself says: "I haven't had this much fun since the mother-in-law got sent off against Wakefield Trinity".
Thank you all. I sat beside my dad in his darkroom when I was a small kid. Too small to learn much. And I did not adopt photography as a hobby until a few years ago. So there is a lot left to learn. Apug is great as I hardly meet anyone in person that use film.
