My one and only "ex" from the 80's.

It has been quite a trip down memory lane to find the photo. Sifting through many bad photos!

This photo is amazing by the way. Certain photos capture a personality in a way that is impossible to define. From this photo, I feel I have know him my entire life. And the button makes the photo for me.

What is amazing about this thread is that, it displays how people open themselves to those we love. And while it may be transient, these are photos that can only be captured by loved ones, because no one else would be allowed such access to the soul.

Here's to love, however long it may last.
 
Christer / Strangeluv -- Over two days I've reading this thread I've paused repeatedly over your photograph from San Sebastian and I feel obligated to tell you I love it a lot. There is something miraculous about how the lines work, the relation of the two main dark masses, her body and the point of land; about the light and dark; the clouds; how her head doesn't quite make it into the frame, as if we are peeking out a window at the scene; how it all works together. Bravo.
 
Sorry I can't show the shot but it's on an uncut roll of slide film and it's a picture of my soon to be high school girlfriend sitting poolside...she would have been 18 and I was 17 when I took it...I've had that roll of film over 30 years...there are other high school friends on that roll...I hang on to it not just because she's on it but due to everyone on it...
My wife has never seen these slides and although she never met the Ex-girlfriend she (my wife) will mention her every once and a while...mostly when someone mentions the name Kelly...
Pretty sure that's the only photographs I have of any serious Ex of mine...
There might be another of a young girl I dated a few times but for the life of me I cannot recall her name...
 
few girlfriends = camera obsession = few girlfriends

presenting my ex wife... she is the reason I got into photography... I felt this relationship needs to be documented so I bought my first camera a Minolta Hi-matic. By the time of this picture I had moved up to a Minolta SLR. always missed the rangefinder experience and bought my first Leica as things were winding down for us. (can't say that really helped things at that point) Still have the M3 and about ten trays of Kodachromes if you would like to come over and look at them. I am not bitter and hope this does not come across that way.... she was a wonderful person and I will be forever grateful for what a great mother she is for our kids

I have the same list when I get up in the morning. After two Ibuprophens, two cups of coffee followed by a one mile walk, it goes away. (Her tilt looks a lot better than mine).

This was taken about 15 years ago, pretty sure I was shooting with a Minolta SLR back then and hadn't even heard of rangefinders at the time 🙂

Am I the first female to break the ice on this thread to post an ex-boyfriend of six months duration on the day I married him - a long, long time ago.

Awesome thread! I really can't see how anyone would read this thread and find it to be anything but classy. Many not only posted photos, but gave backstory. So often the RFF threads are about gear and technical aspects of photography...and did I mention gear? But all of that gear and knowledge is useless unless we are using it to capture meaningful life moments, whether that be portraits, landscapes, street photography, etc. Kudos to all who shared. I met my wife in junior high, started dating her halfway through college (we coincidentally went to the same college), married her 6 years later, had our first child 2 years ago, and we'll celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary next month. If I had any photos of exes I would surely share, but alas, I don't. Thanks to all who have shared!
