Let me bore you with a camera story. We took rolls and rolls of pictures when my son was small. Never went anywhere without a 35mm and a small snapshot camera. In 1982, when son was about 4 1/2, we went to Englishtown NJ Nationals (drag races). Took a few pic and when I got the roll developed, there was this strange picture of the back parking lot with a small section of someone's earlobe in the lower right corner. Odd picture, no value, but I just kept it in the stack. A couple of years later, I was showing the pictures of Englishtown to my niece (a professional photographer and videographer) and when she came to that photo, at first she just broke out laughing. Next she says to me, "Is (DS's Name) left-handed?" I said yes, what makes you ask that. She said that the photo is one she has seen dozens of times. Left-handed children trying to use a camera for the first time almost always turn it around backwards so they viewfinder is non their left eye, and they end up taking a pic of what is behind them with a portion of their ear showing in the pic. I am so glad I didn't throw that photo out. It is now a treasured keepsake. My son't first attempt at picture taking. (but he never told me and I didn't see him touch my camera)
