Description
This is a photo of my 83 year old grandfather. He started me on photography by giving me (on extended loan) his 1970s Pentax SPII with three primes, 35mm, 50mm and 135mm. It was one of the first TTL light metering SLRs in the mass market and I gained valuable experience from it.Here he is, examining my cousin's 20D and marvelling at the technology employed in photography these days.

This is a brilliant shot. Well, all of your work is brilliant anyway. 
What I especially love is the subject. Of course I don't know when you took this or even if your Grandfather is still alive, but I adore snapshots of family. I'm big on family, especially our precious relics of the past (Grandparents). I miss my Grandmother. I only met her once, unfortunately. Your Grandfather looks so diginified here.
Beautiful shot, definitely a fav with me.

What a fabulous comment. Thank you.
I took this shot around about January, and grandpa is still alive and kicking - he's really very healthy. I'm really big on family too (well, most Chinese families are) and I definitely feel that it's important to preserve family gatherings and memories before it's all too late.
Thanks so much for the

That's truly wonderful. I think that's awesome, especially these days. I envy that, it seems to be very much missing over here....a love of family I mean.
