Peak Of The Week

<p>Hi Barry, hi all, thought I just start it; no offense intended, but I have to hit the sack!!!</p><div></div>

<p>Aw, Knut, the first Nikonos has a special place in my heart. My entire childhood in the bayou was photographed with that camera. While not specifically the Calypso, there were not many changes between the first Nikonos and the Calypso. I have many pool photos too of my childhood that look just like your photo. I took it diving in Cozumel in 1989 and it did remarkably well even at 90'. My only problem was that every time I tried to change a flash bulb, it would zip away from me like a dart. </p>

<p>When I was 4 my father took me on a cave tour. At one point in the tour the guide would turn off all the lights to demonstrate how disorientingly dark a cave without light can be. My father, I suppose he assumed I would find the darkness unnerving, tapped me on my tiny shoulder and I could suddenly see his hands in the dark. He was gesturing to me to look at the glow-in-the-dark tape he had attached to the dials and bottom of his Nikonos. It was a warm moment that I'll never forget. </p>
