My Very First Photos,
Dec. 1960, Feb. 1961,
I received a Kodak Brownie camera from my parents
for Christmas 1960. I was nine years old. Although I do not have all the original negatives, I do have most
of my original prints. I do not believe the photos in this group are great, but they
are significant because they are the first photographs I ever shot. Looking back, I realize
I always photographed people. I did not go out and shoot buildings or scenic shots - I almost
always photographed people - even at nine years old.
This is only one of two photos that I could find from my first roll
of film from December 1960. It appears that my father Philip Gangi Sr. is carving a turkey.
The other photo that survived from this first shoot is a photo of my brother
Tommy playing with one of his Christmas toys.

The following photos are all from February 1960. The above portrait
is my Aunt Virginia, my dad's sister.
A portrait of my first girlfriend Stephanie DiCapua.
