Our youngest granddaughter wanted Cupcakes for her birthday, so her mom obliged! The anticipation is for all of us singing "Happy Birthday" to her and then her blowing out the candles!
@thewatersphotos Yeah, that is true, but *you* composed and snapped the photo and edited the image into the wonderful, minimal, story-telling image that this is. :)
My daughters and Clare know the story of me taking photos at an event many, many years ago (pre-digital), and then sharing the prints with the people a week or so later. One of the young people said, and we all still quote this reaction: “Your camera takes good pictures.” Uh-huh. And all I do is push the button. Easy-peasy. I didn't take offense in the moment. It just revealed that she didn't understand that there are technical and artistic elements to the activity of “photography.”
