Oleg's wonderful excuse

[newspaperguy]

In case you didn't know...

Here's a picture of our favorite repair guru,
Oleg Khalyavin and his son, Ilya.

Ilyuska was six weeks old in this picture.

He was born Aug. 16, 2007.


I had posted this before the holidays on the old Russian Camera User site:

It looks like that was one of the last posts before the list died.

I had a Kiev 4a type 1 fixed by Oleg

It was returned in what seems for now in perfect working condition. I haven't had chance to shoot a film with it yet but I am sure that it will work just fine. For some reason I always imagine people like Oleg who fix old cameras to be much older. I wonder what Yuri looks like? Thanks for showing me this picture. If you are listening Oleg, congratulations and take care of that baby.

Sorry about the double link.

I tried to load the picture to this site,

but I'm basically computer ignorant.

Awesome - Oleg is a dad.

This is a happy pic and deserves a wider audience. 🙂

Thanks pfoto.

That's what I wanted to do, but....

This ol' dude couldn't figure out how to do it.

Rick, thank you for posting picture!
One thing: this photo made 17 Aug 2007, so my son is two-day old there... (six-week old he is on other photo I sent you!)

Greetings. But why does he not have a beard like yours?

 

[Oleg]

Mukul, let's wait 30-40 years... Maybe his beard will be better than my one....

Congratulations Oleg!
