Family heritage

This is a kodak brownie E - six 20 , 63 yr old camera , this camera belonged to my father's uncle( my grand mother's brother ) Mr. Ronojit Roy who was a professional photographer , though my father doesn't share the passion & interest that i have in photography , but he took care to see that this was properly maintained . This is my tribute to my father's uncle who started photography way back before 1947 when photography was at it's nascent stage in India .
