What a cool family shot Zeph! Are you taking this one? So you got a very good introduction to both photography and the outdoors at a very young age.

Where are you in the photo Zeph? Great family memories I'm sure.

Pity LR don't sell the Defender over here anymore.

Oh my did your family have a Land Rover 109? I'd die to have one like that now! All are collectors items. (one shown is not a defender).

 

[AlanLichty]

That's an era when Land Rovers were serious offroad vehicles.

In 1960 I was 7 years old, I had a Brownie, later my Mom got me a Yashica twin reflex. This shot my Dad took with his large format cam. My parents loved to camp, the more remote the better.

I'm not in the shot, probably pushing rocks over the edge or something.

The model was the "station wagon" version two bench seats in the way back, I had three brothers so the six of us had plenty of room.
Yes, those rigs are the best, everything was metal, not any plastic...

These two are great timestamps of the way photography takes you to a place & time.
It's great that you are continuing this tradition.

Great shot, great truck!
