Cute! Way to start out!

> just wanted to share with you a (grainy and fairly

> (aka 'Kiko') wearing

> The picture is here: [ http://flowerside.netsons.org/misc/ChicOly.jpg ]

> That cute little guy went wandering around the small
> village in the Southern
> Italian appennines where we were staying, taking pictures
> of drain tubes and
> other interesting (!) items he met during the journey: lamp
> posts, cats,
> rusty locks, archways...
>
> Attached to the camera there was an E.Zuiko 100mm f/2.8
> focused to 2 meters
> and stopped down to f/8 (the shutter time I set on camera
> was arguably
> 1/125, given the ISO 100 colour film we were using and the
> fairly lit day).
>
> He shot almost 20 frames before asking me to carry the
> weighty (!) outfit,
> that I was pleased to pass him whenever he found something
> interesting to
> take pictures at. He even took some portraits of me
> myself... :)
>
> The morning after, he simply *stole* the camera (he was
> able to correctly
> pull the rewind lever and arm the shutter without any help)
> with a G.Zuiko
> 35mm f/2.8 on, and started taking pictures of the view
> outside his room's
> balcony... He was strangely silent during the process...
> :D

> Boy, these are things that make every photo-enthusiast dad
> as proud as he
> could be!

> As soon as the rolls will be developed, I'll let you know
> if the guy has
> "the eye" or not...
>
> BTW: when he was something less than 2 years old (now he's
> 4 years and a
> half) I found him enjoying pulling out straight from the
> protruding tail, at
> least ten (10!) unexposed B/W film rolls I didn't care to
> store away from
> his curious hands... He still remember that episode and
> laughs at it. Me, I
> laugh not. At least not when he's around... :)
