The Malang 8 Month Old

The Malang 8 Month Old, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

I have disabled her pictures for public viewing from my Flickr photo stream, but my grand daughter Nerjis Asif Shakir is recovering from a serious illness ..and we dont touch her without sanitizing our hands , and she wonders what all this fuss is all about..

She moves about the house on her walker , her first love is the camera , and she loves feeling it touching it m, if I take a shot I show it to her on the camera monitor..

In the nights after I come from work, shower I take her down and she observes my world silently.. she is unlike her sister 4 year old Marziya Shakir, Marziyas life was full time adventure , touching animals playing with them.. animals are out of bound to Nerjis ..she does not take kindly to strangers , only people she knows and trusts and these are about a dozen, she gets scared of people with glasses but both my wife and I are exception.. she goes for our glasses and crushes the frames.. she can get very angry loves grapes oranges and apple juice.

So teaching photography to a 8 month old child is making her get used to the contours of the camera , and it sounds crazy , Marziya began shooting pictures at the age of 2..

The Canon EOS 7D is a heavy camera ,.. but Marziya Shakir is comfortable using it...
