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.
Honestly, I hadn't even noticed the fingers. Those faces and your grandfather's hand pointing are far too compelling!

I know all about the dodginess of that red window advance. I was actually shooting with a cheap old 120 camera this weekend and the last couple of pictures are either going to have not enough space or too much space between them. The funny thing that occurred to me was that turning the camera to watch the window while advancing kind of makes it look like I'm chimping
