My father got into photography many years ago when a friend gave him some camera equipment he had won. At the time he had no real interest in photography so he was trying to find a buyer for the equipment. During that time he began to play around with the cameras and it slowly developed into a hobby. A few years before he passed away my father opened up his own portrait studio called Giant Bay Portraits downtown Thunder Bay. I kind of regret not going to see him at his studio when Masako and I came back to Canada for the first time in 3 years and didn't see it until I came home in November for his funeral and was amazed to see that he had made the jump to digital. He had purchased a Dell PC, scanner and was even running photoshop! Along with the change to digital photography came a Sony Cybershot DSC-F707. I remember seeing it at the studio, kind of stuck out seeing it was the only non-film/SLR and non-Canon there. It never crossed my mind to ask for it but when I got back to Japan I knew it was just going to be sold off for a fraction of the value and thought I would get better use out of it. I had just learned that Masako was pregnant the day I left to Thunder Bay so having a quality digital camera before the baby was born has been a high priority for me. Eight months later I now have my father's first digital camera and will be taking the first photos of our baby with it. Photos above are some of my first practice shots of Masako with the Cybershot.
