The process of reviewing the vast quantity of slides left behind by father continues. My guess is that the majority are from the 1970s, when my father was an amateur photographic fiend. He shot with a Kowa—likely the seT R2—preferring slides to film for their shareability and presumed better longevity.
The Kowa appealed to him for interchangeable lenses with leaf shutters—an innovative design that made the camera nearly silent, which made scaring off wildlife less likely. An avid hunter, later in the decade he put aside the rifle and only shot animals with the camera.
That brings us to the Featured Image and unanswered question. I posted both pics to Facebook, hoping some family member could tell me something about the dog, which clearly is inside the Wilcox family farmhouse. Date on the slides: May 1973. No one knows the animal. So far. Color/temperatures are quite varied, and that’s the difference shooting with flash versus ambient light.
