Topic: Photographer Attacked

[Ed Wenn]

I came across this series ealier tonight whilst saving the files from the family digital point 'n' shoot to a hard drive. Thought it would make a decent addition to the long-running Filmwasters forum theme of "photographers as parents". It's dedicated to whoever it was who posted that classic snap of them trying to compose a shot with their son swinging from their back.

 

For the record I was taking the double-exposure part of the shot, Positive & Goop.

Oh btw, in the 2nd photo ... he was going for your glasses. Did they survive? I had a pair smashed by my boy when he was about 15th mth's old ... and no ... I didn't go blind (yet)

One of the best things I ever did (aside from that one night back in '89 in Hamburg with Leonora, the edible glitter paint and the priest's uniform ) was buy some of those bendy framed, child proof (as if such a thing really exists!) glasses. They've been through 2 kids so far and are still going strong.
