“Use that!” by rhoing

“Use that!”

It was almost 9:30 p.m. I had no image and Clare and I hadn’t had supper. Hoist camera; “patrol the house.”

Hmmm: piano? So I make the noises of unscrewing a filter, mounting the Speedlite, click on the camera, click on the flash and take the first shot. From another room, “You don’t have a photo yet, right?” Clare asks. Exactly right.

I take a couple and the second one looks kind of cool. I show it to Clare. “Use that!” she says matter-of-factly. I thought it was just her hungriness “talking” so I burst out laughing. She immediately realized how it sounded and what I probably thought so *she* burst out laughing.

It’s been a while since we have laughed that hard. And so I present, “Use that!”
Love it!

@oneinodd @dandtsgal @gmitche47 @hey_danes And if I knew how to play, I could perhaps have set the focus on middle C … whichever key *that* is…

@jbritt Thank you, Joan!! A down-side of the empty nest is the girls aren't here to play. I have a notice from the piano tuner that it's "time," but where's the incentive?

Love it! Nice story to go along with it. Makes it meaningful. I wouldn't have thought this was a last minute attempt. Very good!

Clare has a good eye - even if it may not have been intentional
