My four children all grew-up with Leicas and in the darkroom. They all know how to shoot and two of them are OK, one is a mother family shooter of her children and the other is an exceptional photographer. To-day I've got ten grand children and three of them know how to "play with Leicas" :) I should say know how to use them very well, of the three 2 become teen agers this year. So get your boy doing his picture taking with you and you'll have a greater closeness with him. Trust me, this is one I really know what I'm talking about. Particularly when number 2 son is one of the finest sports photographers I've ever seen. (I know I sound bias!) :) But every Olympics and other international games we have worked on for clients over the past 12 years he has shot my butt off! So what else can I say.:) It still comes down to: you're only as old as your attitude! Ted Grant This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler. http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
