Larry made this photograph on a Christmas vacation to the Bahamas. We actually went there to meet my family and it was Larry’s first holiday with the Gomes gang. I had just recently started experimenting with the plastic camera and I remember that Larry wasn’t yet convinced of what the point was. I let him borrow mine one afternoon as we walked along the beach. Upon our return to L.A. of course the first item on our “to do” list is to get the film in for processing (that anticipation is one of my favorite parts of coming back from a trip, second only to actually seeing the proof sheets.) Well, here this was on “his roll” and he has never doubted the plastic camera since.
