Benjy's Progress

[gwebster]

Oh my God - he's posting his darned baby pictures again!

<p>

My wife has accused me of not taking enough pictures of one month old Benjamin,

our recent addition to the family. "You'd rather photograph strangers in the

street than your own son!" etc. etc., so just to prove her wrong and by way of

putting my new Digilux 3 through its paces, here is the latest portrait of

little Benjy asleep in the morning sun, in his characteristic "hear no evil"

position.

<p>

Enjoy

Benji is cute. Did you get him a camea yet? Maybe a M8 or MP. You could use it until he grows into it.

 

Next time put him in the shade or diffuse some sunlight. Bounce flash off a white ceiling is good.

Gordon, fine photo. I hope you don't look like him :-)

Is that a Leica to nipple mount he's sucking on? Or is it just a knockoff? (see article by E. Putts) Cute kid, nice pic. Congrats.

Actually I like that light, Gordon -- has an ethereal feel to it.

 

Nice that he's sleeping. You getting any sleep ? :-)

Barry - It's the new Leica <em>Lactilux Aspherical</em> specially designed for kid portraits. It reduces the facial plane grimacing and distortion that results from lactical aberrations :-)

You guys ! :)

I like the light too.

Benjy is a great name! (I'm biased)

Congrats. Nothing like having a baby in the house. Hope you are doing the night feedings

and changings. I have an 8 week old daughter at home. There is nothing like feeding and

changing your child to bond with them. Again, there is nothing like having a baby in the

house.
