This sunset was one of many taken by my father on the beach at ELWA radio station in Liberia circa 1964. Probably on his Pentax Spotmatic with an Asahi 50mm F1.4 lens and Kodak film. He gave me my first camera, a Rolleicord, when he got his first Pentax along with a light meter. I can remember spending hours in the darkroom with him.

He lived a long life of 88 years and he never lost his interest in photography, computers and all things scientific which he shared with all his children. We're all gathering this week to celebrate his life and I've been busy sorting through his photos that have been scanned to put together a photo tribute to him.

I thought you all would appreciate seeing an old image recovered from a somewhat dirty, scratched up slide and the beauty that was captured on film.

The Asahi Pentax Super-Takumar 50mm F1.4 that I use was his and was probably the lens used to take this picture.
