At nearly three years old, Nathan has found a new hobby: photography. I shouldn't be surprised; from the moment he could walk, he would run toward me mid-picture, anxious to see the image. We have many talented photographers in our extended families and Nathan may just be the next generation.
At school, Nathan's teacher carries an iPad mini and lets the students take pictures of the classroom or activity. Now, Nathan wants to use our phones to do the same at home. Side note: one day Nathan declared that Mama needed to go buy a new phone because he was taking ownership of mine.
Anyway, I taught him how to use my "old" digital camera. Nathan was puzzled by the fact that the screen is not operated by touch, like our phones or teacher's iPad. And we still have to remind him to hold the button down for a three-count versus the instant picture snapping of smartphones.
Nathan leans toward the abstract. He asked if he could take pictures and I asked what he planned to take pictures of. His response: the drawer. So, you see "The Drawer".
Nathan asked to take a picture of Andrew and the first one didn't quite meet his expectations. Portraits are often tricky.
He had better luck the second time.
