D. Yep true! When he shot his first pro-football game at age 12, one roll of 36 exp B&W that's all I gave him, we sold 8 first class peak action photographs. And his career was launched as he never wanted to do anything else. He's shot assignments around the world and last year after a major skating event, before he switched to digital, Sports Illustrated called and asked if he'd shot film because their guys shot "only digital!" And they couldn't get a quality reproduction for a poster. When he said yes they paid him handsomely for his shot. :-) And that's one of many they've purchased. Yep it's a great feeling when yer son out shoots you on any given sport assignment. :-) Damn he's good! :-) The really nice thing is when I praise him his response is , "Well where do you think I learned it!" And gives me a nudge. :-) Love that kid. ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
