The Apple and the Tree

I'd like to say that this is the case of the apple not falling far from the tree, but I have the feeling that the apple is going to grow its own big tree, very soon.

Please join me in welcoming my daughter Amber to JPG. She is a very ambitious photographer who was excited to be dragged out to Ft. Wetherill with her dad this day. We both snapped photos of each other at the same time in this abandoned army bunker. Her's is here.

We had a blast exploring the dark caves of this place. Unfortunately, we forgot flashlights, so we were using Amber's flash on her Cannon DSLR to light the way!

You can purchase selected photos of mine at mylatehope.imagekind.com.

Created using my Holga 120CFN with Fuji NPZ 800 film. Negative scanned with my Epson v700 Perfection scanner. No digital manipulation used!

Paul-your image, and also Amber's image, are both very nice. I love the colors in both. The best component of each image though is the fun and enjoyment for photography that you both share together. Thanks for sharing.

Struan, I am so naming my next Ft. Wetherill photo "The Last Stand of the Crayola Army". I hope you don't mind. Perhaps I will dedicate it too you?

Daughters are very welcome! Good luck to you, Amber, on your photography!
Amazing colours in this shot!
(My son, 16 years, just got himself a Holga, for skateboard photography and other stuff; he loves it!)
