Here's the caption that my son's mother wrote for this photo, made ten years ago:

"On an unusually hot Spring day I put Spencer on this oilcloth to prevent slivers, and let him play with a slow hose set to mist. He would spray himself, then get this look on his face of cold-water-shock and delight, then turn the water away from himself, catch his breath, and spray himself again. And again. He did this for several minutes. Derrel saw this happening and ran for his camera. It's fun to see the impish side of Spencer's personality be expressed. Often around water, one of his favorite things. -JH"

Throwback Thursday: Here is an old photograph I made at age 13, in 1976, on a salmon fishing trip with my dad, my brother, and my grandfather, on the Columbia River, near Rainier, Oregon. I shot this with a 1958 Super Ricohflex TLR. The film was kept frozen until t1985, when I finally developed it. I made my first print or scan of this image three years ago, when I was 48 years old!

My grandfather was a former Columbia River gillnetter and Pacific City salmon troller, and here he is instructing my brother on how to navigate using the on-shore channel markers, as we run upriver in his home-built 20-foot double-ender Pacific City-style dory, the Chinook Princess, which was powered by an in-well Johnson 18 horsepower outboard, the way other 1950's boats of its type had been designed to work.

Love this photo, Derrel! :heart:

Oh, thanks limr, I apprecaite hearing that from you. I've posted this photograph here on TPF before, and on Facebook as well, and it gets good responses. I really tried hard to make it, from the front of the boat, kind of wedged right up in the bow of the boat. One comment-- I did NOT crop off his fingers when I shot it, but the frame was unfortunately overlapped with the following frame...knob-wind-and-red-peekaboo-window syndrome,so I sacrificed the bottom of the frame, and put a border around it. Ahhh, sigh...overlapped frames.... I STILL have that old Super Ricohflex. It was a pretty cheezy camera, even for the late 1950's, but it's AMAZING how much detail a cheap lens and Verichrome Pan film can render from a 6x6 rollfilm negative.
 
From 2011. Six months after getting my camera...Seems like so long ago...
