I took this shot last year when I took my youngest son to Venice for a few days. To my delight my son, who was only five then, was just as happy to spend our time together shooting street as I was, and was every bit the professional with his iPod camera. The kid shows real potential, and has an unswerving eye for a good shot. In fact, I bought him his very own Fujifilm camera for his 5th birthday on his request. He told me quite specifically that he wanted, “A real camera…”, although I think it’s still a little too advanced for him. I have no doubt he’ll have it sussed in time.
I’m looking forward to returning to Venice next Tuesday. This time however, I will be visiting with Bill, my husband. It’ll be Bill’s very first visit, and I can’t wait to show him around my favourite place in the world. It means I will have been to Venice with all of my favourite people, my three children and my best friend and love. It makes me go all misty eyed just thinking about it…
Anyway, here is one of my son’s shots from our last visit,

You are such a sweet woman.

This shot reminds me of the photographs my father took of me to attach to a CV I had to send to my (then) future employer in South Africa!
And then we had to go through the whole rigmarole once more …

I’ll take that as a compliment, Ark. I was going for a classic noir look, despite both originals having been in colour. 🙂

My father was going for a ” They’ll love the suit and the new haircut” look.
Not quite the same thing as what you were after I’d venture!

I don’t know, I think we were both trying to achieve the same kind of classic smart look… 😉

Got a good candid of his Mum there—and you’d better keep an eye on him, that’s a nice leggy model in the window behind …

And there was me thinking he was eyeing up the suit on the dummy…! 🙂
