19720805_APSPII-50_F00110 Theatre in Sigatoka, Fiji

            Just the 10th image recorded (on film) on my then new Asahi Pentax Spotmatic II with Takumar 50mm lens.  So new was the camera that I was still to get it.  My father shot this in Sigatoka, Fiji in early August 1972 while on holiday there.  Fiji was duty free in those days and a camera like this (Spotmatic) was a lot cheaper than in New Zealand with duty and sales tax applied.

Outside a movie theatre that shows both English and Hindi (later called Bollywood) films.  When I saw these slides for the first time (August 1972) little did I know that within 26 months I would be going to see Hindi movies and within four years would be married to an Indo-Fijian.

Taken on: August 5, 1972
