BOOTS, CATTLE AUCTION, STURGEON FALLS, ONTARIO

A few weeks ago I showed an old portfolio with pictures I made in 1976 at the weekly cattle auction in Sturgeon Falls. My friends enjoyed the images and urged me to scan the negatives, which I started doing. It is a tedious job but I ended up with a great collection of over four hundred pictures. Now before people write me and ask where and when this auction takes place i am sorry to say. The auction has become the victim of the computer and internet. It simply does not exist any more. Al;l that is left are the memories and these pictures.

In fact it's really hard to pinpoint the old location on the ground.

Unlike other art forms, people alwas ask about the location where a picture was taken.

I recall you took our summer course class back in 1982 there for a photo shoot. I likewise remember you showing us your portfolio of the proceedings. If I am not mistaken, you used a Nikon F3 for the occasion.
