Philippe,
Thanks for told me about the celebration for new baby in France.
How to say? It's my nephew's baby. Family not means my own family, means a
great family for my brother and & brother & sister-in-law. There are two
wordings to identify the different, but I check dictionary that is same word
in English. I have a girl only who is 14 years old. She studys F.3 in
secondary school.
P.S. Thanks. My camera is M4-P, shots with Kodak TMAX 400 push to ISO800,
self develpment with TMAX developer 1:4, 24℃, 5-3/4 mins.
