The image above has been taken by Femke, my granddaughter. Femke was my assistant during her first 3 years and she probably took notice of what I did and still do...making photographs.( Dadaa took care of Femke on Monday's during her first years)
Together we did quite a lot of photographs, from Pinhole via 4x5/8x10 - Digital.

Amazing experience it was, when she recently asked if she could take some photographs...and I thought why not.
So I picked up my Coolpix 950  

CoolPix 950 (1999)  Close

 which I bought in 1999 and decided it was hers when she wanted to do some shooting.
Years back I did the same and gave her mother(my daughter) a Lubitel TLR (Twin lens reflex - copy of the Voigtländer Brilliant)  

Stunning it was when I reviewed the images on my PC - No falling horizons, No subjects too far away, No statical viewpoints (She even chose for low view points and Frog’s-eye Perspective when it was appropriate)

I guess it will prove what early encounters can do and I do hope it will turn out to be a lifetime-working spark of dedication to photography.
