The eye of the mind

The first camera I picked up was my dad's old Yashica and was immediately fascinated in how to frame an image. I bought my very own in university, a Minolta X-300, the most affordable SLR camera a student on loan and part time job could afford. I was impressed with fellow photographers, esp one special person who had with her a manual Nikon on our first date together. Its only fitting that I married her and we have two wonderful kids. They now have cameras of their own (M got an Olympus OM-D EM-10 and J a Leica V-lux Type 114) courtesy of their photo- mad dad. I even tried to impart some tips to them but their mind's eye would of course be completely different from mine. What they conceive and frame will be how they would like to see the world. As for me, the world I see, on this eve of the year of the fire rooster is a beautiful happy one. Not least because of the Mrs, the Mstr and the Ms.
