Remember these days … ?​

This is typical of the days when free-lance photographers would drum up business by stopping passers-by in the streets (or, in this case, Piccadilly Arcade, Sydney), and offer to take their photo (at a price, I guess!). On this particular day (circa 1958), my Father agreed, so he and I had our picture taken, there and then. These were the days where you wouldn’t think of gong to the city, especially, wearing any less than a suit and tie, and a hat! for the men, and my Mother made sure I was well-dressed as well. Note also, in the shop window behind, evidence of lady’s fashion of the day. Isn’t it great, as we get older, to look back on happy memories.

The nicest photo I have of my mother and father is one that was taken by a street photographer in Forrest Place, Perth.
