When I was a young boy, Westerns were King. They ruled the movies and television. The Lone Ranger, John Wayne, Roy Rodgers and the cast of Gunsmoke were every bit as famous as Justin Bieber and Katie Perry are nowadays. Seems like every western had a saloon scene where cowboys were in a smokey room sitting around an old wooden table playing poker and drinking cheap whiskey. Thus the inspiration for the following photos. Perhaps you can relate . . .
In the early 1960's my Father purchased something that changed my life forever. . .A Polaroid camera. It was rather strange in appearance, but it was the latest and greatist in technology at the time. You could snap the shutter, and in seconds out came a picture that slowly developed in front of your eyes in just a few minutes! It was a like having a portable darkroom. Magic! That camera was a springboard into the next decade when I bought my first 35 mm SLR. As they say, the rest is history.
