Well,
My Pentax presents this year were far more then I had hoped for and
some of it totally unexpected.
Especially as the digital came from my mum who is staying with us this
Xmas (Dad died 18 months ago and he is very much missed)
She is only on a pension andI feel very bad about the cost of the
camera.
>From what I can find out , the reason mum bought it me is that when dad
was alive he was
One of those people who did not like to have his picture taken (the
whole family is like that),
But I did manage to take his picture every so often.
Then 18 months ago when they were on there hols (golden wedding
anniversary present from mum to dad)
He was mugged (over a packet of cigarettes) and ended up in a coma.
My mum spent 8 weeks in Spain (she is in a wheelchair) waiting to see if
my father would survive.
He did (to obstinate to give in bless him!) and although he had brain
damage and needed a lot of
Looking after he recovered almost completely. He was aged 79 by the way.
I continued to photograph my dad and the rest of the family.
Unfortunately my dad died of a congenital defect that was a time bomb in
him from birth.
One of the most treasured possessions that my mother has is the last
picture I took of him.
No one else in our family takes pictures and now they all regret it.
I am glad I did.

True, very true.
Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!
