Jeff Long, Here I Come!!

Everybody dreams that their children will follow in their footsteps.

Nicely and warmly created! Regards, Doug

Living scene. The first steps - we see the next generation - early : is better.

I am waiting for his first shots.BR Joerg

What I like about this is the light/shadow contrasts; and most importantly, his intense concentration and fascination. You can tell he's watched his mother with a camera a time or two! Well done! Cheers! Chris

 

P.S. BTW, I just posted a B&W version of the ripples in the desert wash (Microscape IV) that you suggested. I really like it and appreciate you asking for it! C

I really like this shot. The subject matter of the wonderment of the child as he tries to figure out what it is and what to do for the first time. The contrasts, the just ever so slight out of focus of the boys face and in B&W make this a really nice photo. I think I would have cropped it down to just the boy and the camera being full frame. Very nice work!

Regards,

Doug

What an honor! I can only imagine what photography will be like when your little guy begins snapping for real. It's going to be interesting to see who these little people develop into.

Wonderful! First lesson I guess? The curiosity in Gabriel's eyes and the way that he grabs the tripod is charmingly captured. He is blessed to grow up with a talent.

All my kids uses my old cameras too, but they have to deal with the digital versions :) Very good use of natural light, looks original.

Oh, yeah, he has to learn the basics, camera controls, choice of film, everything. I have an old Burke & James 5x7 that just fascinates him. It sits in the living room, and he always goes over to stare. He is a naturally curious kid.

When I saw his concentration, I thought he was deciding the speed using the zones system rules.:) Excellent capture, Emmanuel! Regards!

Awesome shot. I like the little man's intense concentration on his photographic hardware. He looks like he's fine-tuning for the finale shot

 

Nice work.

Very good.

Super capture, Emmanuel!!!

If he's after Jeff, then he's doing some crazy motion capture, I'm sure. Looks like fun!!

He is going to study in natural & warm place to be a serious artist, Emmanuel, lovely capture!!! Best regards

What great fun! This one is my favorite, with his serious concentration on the camera, and the camera being the focused point of the image as well. You must be proud on several counts :)

What a delight, Emmanuel. And I'm betting he'll have a great eye. Warm regards, Joe

Nice shot...he really looks like he is concentrating on it...regards....LJ

This is really cute and intense, Emmanuel. I thought maybe a bit of cropping top and bottom would accentuate that intensity. Got carried away and added catchlights too.

Great job. How do you add catchlights? I might switch your image for mine. I just need to see of it's a big enough file. Thanks for the compliment and editing.

Great. I hope he will have the art sense of his mother.

Great! I couldn't help but to think of my son, he's still to young, but every time I take out the camera, looks back at me with very curiously.....any way, I'm really having a great time looking at this, and thinking both about the future, and the past, that was exactly the model of the first camera I used; though briefly (but that's another story). Cheers

Sorry I missed this one.  No doubt he will privilege to be taught by a talented teacher. ;)
