Future Photographer?

Continuing our effort to find a vocation for Finn, we suggested that he try photography. Personally I don't care if he is Ansel Adams or a paparazzo as long as he can support himself within a year or two. In fact, I think that these days the paparazzi may make more money than legitimate photographers. Except maybe those at Glamour shots.

He was very excited by the idea when we posed it to him. You can see the wheels spinning in his head behind that wry grin.


He jumped away from the train table and tried to find a camera. His first attempt failed miserably. You can understand since everyone's first try at anything rarely works well. After some counselling, he understood that it is the camera and not the lens cap that takes the picture.


His second try and finding the camera worked out much better. He had the camera and ran over to his favorite subject, Liam. He gave some good direction to his model, telling him how to pose and when to blink.


The result was very good. Here is our youngest with some (red?) hair growing in.


It seems that he may be qualified to work at Glamour shots after all. The thought made him so giddy that Finn rolled around on the floor and nibbled on his toes. He is only two after all. Besides, I've always heard that artists are quirky.
