    Excellent, looks like a 60s photo, and look at that moment. I wish I was there dancing with ‘em!

    That looks like so much fun! it does look like a 60’s photo, captured very well.

    Thanks very much! The Spotmatic was the top-of-the-line consumer camera (first with through-the-lens metering) in 1967 or so (the Old Man got it in Hong Kong in 1968), so perhaps it’s channeling its own past.

    They were great to watch dancing–I’m an enthusiastic but highly untalented dancer, so it was great fun to watch some people who were really light on their feet.
