We bought our house on a street with no kids, just OLD, OLD folks. The local ice cream guy, you know - ding ding, dingy dingy, ding ding - that guy, decided to troll down our block and lo and behold, my wife grabbed my son and ran him out to buy his first dilly bar, or somesuch. I, in a post yard work stupor, grabbed a 6, a roll of tri-x, and headed out to record the event. At a full clip I managed to load the thing, set the film speed, and then proceded to burn 15 or so frames of my son crying, terrified at what must have seemed like an escape from a burning building. Not what I had in mind, but the pictures are kind of cool - in an ironic sort of way. Regards, Ben W.
