Ben at 12 -- lower Manhattan on a very frigid day in February. Note the lack of a hat or gloves. Sigh. Trying out a film camera (borrowed his sister's Holga) for the first time!
...and an only child. Never met a camera he wouldn't immediately drop everything and pose for. Not RF and I'm no good anyway but cant help showing him off. You'd barf if you knew what camera I took these with but they are keepers for me 🙂
This is from the summer of 1971, made with my old Mamiya Sekor 500DTL and a 55 f/1.5 Mamiya Sekor lens. My film of choice in those days was Kodak Verichrome Pan, probably developed in D76 or microdol. My youngest son could not be compelled to keep his clothes on (he was 2) so, while I show this photo on my night table without the added coverage, I've made a bit of a change to keep his dignity intact online.

Two years ago at the Reno Jazz Festival...
He's a Senior now and this was his last year for Reno but my daughter's just a Sophomore so we have two more years of Reno Jazz...
