ARCHIVE 465 – ASSAULT BY COMPACT CAMERA

Assault by compact camera; 24 Mar 2012.
At a party recently, our little friend – now aged three – got hold of her dad’s camera and started taking flash pictures of me. At which point, still being quite a child myself, I started pretending that each of her camera’s flashes was almost knocking me off my chair – which she loved and found hilarious.
So here she is, simply delightful – and maybe one of tomorrow’s photographic movers and shakers.

You caught some really decisive-moment images. She is so intent in the second shot and so obviously pleased with her results in the third. These are great!

She was – and is – wonderful. I’ve known her all her life. 🙂

It shows in your shots. You really captured the essence of the individual.

She was, as you reported, already moving and shaking you, and I’d say that’s a great start. Love it when they start young. I remember my first Kodak Brownie. I went around snapping at everything I liked, even when there was no film (VP 127, as I recall) in the camera! I can still feel it in my hands and hear/feel the click of the shutter.

I know just what you mean in your final sentence – I feel the same about an Olympus OM-1 that I used a lot in Kenya. The viewfinder is rather mouldy now, but the shutter still works, and its just a delight to hold the camera, squeeze the trigger, and hear the very soft click that the OM-1 was famous for.

Same here, with my old Pentax Spotmatic, my first SLR. I hardly used it after the light meter stopped working (I did get a used Luna Pro that helped), but I just can’t bring myself to let it go.

No, no, absolutely >>> you should certainly keep it >>> its a personal treasure, as is my OM-1! 🙂
