Hey Greyscale: this was not taken with an Olympus Trip 35, but it is my mother and yours truly about 1957:

Carter, what is the camera in your hands? It would be interesting to see the shot of your mom that you took on that day, if it still exists.

I can't find it, and it was some antique Kodak that stopped down to f/64. So probably an f/8 open. My brother had the Brownie that this was taken with, here is my Mom (right) with my Uncle and Aunt in our boat (after church, ties and long coats, in a boat??? about 1962):

That looks like an Amphicar, was that photo taken at the Wisconsin Dells, by any chance? Nice proto-mohawk on your uncle. 😀

Sorry, no it was a finned fiberglass outboard, probably the ugliest ever made. But if you had it today it would be the priciest.

Mom on the slopes (at the right):

I just shot these pictures of my mother a week ago with my Olympus 35SP. The scans came back from NCPS today. The film is Ilford HP5 at ISO 1600 with an yellow (K2) filter.
