Tom looks very comfortable in that role, and easily has the oldest, most comfortable hat in sight. :-)

PESO:

Tom is not a photographer.  He has no interest in learning to use any
camera; however, on this last trip there were far too many photos for me to
keep changing lenses and cameras and getting them all.  So I gave him an M9
with the 24/2.8 and set it on the 8's.  I set the aperture for f/8 and told
him to be sure the infinity mark was set at 8 so that more or less
everything would be in focus (hyperfocul focusing).  When there is plenty
of light, it works fine.  He didn't even have to look through the
viewfinder, just press the shutter.

Amazingly, he got some good photos.  If you see any that I post that are
taken with the M9 at f/8, Tom might have pressed the shutter.   I also used
it, though, so there is no way to know who shot what!  I'll take credit (or
blame) for all ;-)  I just know that the ones I appear in, I did not shoot!
