Opa's Camera

Back around Thanksgiving my grandmother had to move into a smaller place and in the process of helping her move my dad found a bunch of my grandfather's old photo gear. Being the only remaining family photog, it got handed down to me. He passed away in 1983, when I was only 6, so it was neat to take his camera out and put it to use a few weeks ago. It worked flawlessly.

Cool shots Paul. Sometimes we forget, in this digital age, that taking photographs isn't about the technology, it's about the portrait.

Looks liek the photographer can handle the equipment, too.

Thanks, guys!
