I was inspired to upload this photograph by memoryradio's post "old vs new" : http://society6.com/memoryradio/old-vs-new-mD5

This photograph is very special to me.

In my hand I hold my Grandfather's 90 year old vintage Voigtlander Compur folding camera that he bought in Germany in the 1920's. I've composed and taken a photograph of my son through the tiny viewfinder which is 1cm square, much smaller than it appears in this photograph. I cannot articulate the emotions this stirs in me.
I'm sure my grandfather never imagined that one day, in another century, his beloved camera would be used by his granddaughter (who he never knew) to photograph his great grandson.

I'm a sentimental fool.......!
