９月の終わりから、フォトグラフィーを専門学校で勉強すると伝えたら、
福岡の祖父が、一眼レフカメラをレンズ２つ添えて送ってくれた。
オリンパスのOM-2というモデルで、父によると３０年前に発売された名機種らしい。
フィルムはまだ入ってないけど、シャッターの音がたまらなく良いので、何度も空撮りしてみた。
クラシックなデザインとは裏腹に、凄く頭のいいカメラなんだ。
このカメラと共に、写真を基礎から勉強しよう。
おじいちゃんありがとう！
一緒に送られてきたぬれ煎餅を食べながら、しばらく至福の一時に浸りました。
When my grandfather in Fukuoka heard from my dad that I'll be studying photography from the end of September at a local college,
he sent me his SLR camera, together with the two lenses.
The model is called Olympus OM-2, which was first sold thirty years ago and according to my dad, it's a revolutionary camera.
Although I didn't have any film inside, I took many empty shots, for it makes such a wonderful analogue sound.
Despite its classical design, I found it to be extremely smart with its various functions.
I'm going to study photography from scratch with this new frind of mine.
Thanks grand-dad, you're grand!
For a moment, I was in a state of utmost felicity, with a rice-cookie in my hand, which was in the box with the camera.
