I've been posting a lot of photographs in the fun with film camera thread, but since these were all taken with a Leica M3 and one of three lenses, 35mm f/3.5 Summaron, 50mm f/3.5 Elmar or 90mm f/4 Elmar, I suppose they really belong here.
I have just obtained a PlusTek 7600iSE scanner and have been reliving a most fantastic holiday. I don't have the camera or lenses anymore, however I do have a good set of Voigtlander screw lenses and have just bought a secondhand, but seemingly unused Bessa R, so it looks like I'll be heading off to do some old fashioned film work soon.
Our head Sherpa, Chamba. His woolly hat was often used to collect eggs from farms we passed.
Baharri-lal, devout buddhist and great solo mountain climber
An elderly herdsman who approached me and asked me to take his photograph
One of numerous flocks of goats and sheep moving down off the high pastures before winter set in
A ferryman using the traditional method of crossing a river, an inflated buffalo skin
Rosie Kerr, 72 years young and seemingly quite relaxed about being ferried across the Beas River
Rosie Kerr on the verandah of "Urusvali", a house that was the residence of Nicholas Roerich, south of Manali in the Kulu Valley
Our assistant chef
A boy at a temple in the hills
The same boy, I think with his elder brother
Goatherds, presumably father and son
One of our Sherpas, demonstrating the art of sheep shearing
Lets not forget the ponies who made it possible
Here the ponies again with the two pony Wallahs
The old apple trading route into the Kulu Valley, husband, wife and unseen between them, daughter, perhaps 8 years old, all carrying bundles of hay
Sherpas in camp before a days trek
Most of our group, presumably at Kranti Singh's house in Manali (he was our Indian leader). John Keay, European leader standing in foreground, Kranti seated over his shoulder
All photographs scanned in from FP4 negatives
