Egg in Glass - Rochester, NY - 1968

I took this image in 1968 while living in Rochester, NY.  It is the earliest "fine art" photograph that I

still have in my possession.  I took the image with a Kodak Pony 828 camera which I modified to take

close-ups.  I would put a piece of ground glass on the film plane to focus it and then load the film

to take the picture.  This was shot on my mother's new dining room table.
