New Hobby

She loves taking photos. She looks through the lens, and uses the preview screen.  I try to breathe normally as she runs around pointing and clicking, hoping she’ll stay steady on her feet. The camera’s owner, a professional photographer, assures me repeatedly that this is a ‘second-string’ camera, worth but a fraction of its original cost, suitable for pre-K shutterbugs. I must believe him.

Someday I know she’s going to ask for one of her own (and throw my checkbook into anaphylactic shock).

In the meantime, she’s taken to it like Niri Pinky-Ming to his/her fishbowl. She looks like a natural to me.
