I started with an unknown (un-remembered) 120 box camera when I was 8 years old, but the first "real" camera was a Halina 35x. A 35mm rangefinder with a remarkably good lens for the princely sum of aprox £6 back in '61. From then on it has been a varied selection of OMs, Nikons, Bronicas, moving on to digital - the last 4 have been Nikon, with the new baby (D800) arriving this morning. Battery charging as we speak. That first one has a lot to answer for.
Good photos. I like the idea of hanging them both. They compliment each other well.
Number 1 is the shot. I agree with most of the other comments. Number 1 makes her look far more open and approachable.
