10th May 2005 at last!

Conor finally gets his hands on an SLR,
not a digital one though.
He last got hold of my old Praktika MTL 3 when he was about 5.
And he dismantled it.
That was the camera I bought with my first pay packet when I went away to sea,
so it has been around a bit.
I never use it now,
so I let him have it.
He has had it round his neck all day.
We took it into Aberdeen.
Conor had the dentist,
and the morning off school.

cosy ambience!
BTW what would one do with a dismantled camera around the neck? Just curious. ;)

A very warm shot. The young man so engaged in a library of books is a heartwarming sight.

Possessed!

Probably looking for the slot to put the memory card in! Looks a great shop.

He looks so intent on it.. with a slight smile..
Guest 11-May-2005 10:19
I used to own a Praktika too! looking forward to seeing his results!

Looking forward to his photos soon.

Connor obviously shares your passion. I think that is fantastic! Maybe he should join pbase too? I love the look of fascination on his face...well done!

Looks like a great place to hang out... I'd love to have a frothy and browse those shelves... I may have to make a special trip!

What a great place to sit and play cameras. lovely shot.

He's taken an interest-encourage it. I have a clock that was my grandmother's from the 1800's. My brother dismantled it and it struck 144 times at midnight. Boys just love to see what makes things work (big boys, too).

Oh, I thought you were going to say at last he's taken to reading books...;>)
I would like a dollar for the innumerable times I've seen boys dismantle items.
Like the cosy feel to this bookshop.

Yes, a very nice room. Wonder how long before Conor wants his own DSLR?
Guest 10-May-2005 18:46
Cool. Another promising photographer in the making perhaps?

Great shot, looks like a nice little cafe/library?
