Vintage Bondi

A few days ago I mentioned to lalirra, who obviously has a thing about Bondi that I have a favourite photo of my parents taken at Bondi in 1937, not long after they met, and that when I was next stuck I'd post it.
That time has come.

This was taken by a street photographer, as were most photos then, and in my childhood.  For most people of that vintage the best photos they have were taken by these street photographers, who were mostly brilliant at what they did.

The photographed were given a docket and at a later date picked up the photo.
So time consuming and labour intensive by today's standards, but so worth it.
