Sometimes, the camera knows more than we do. Or at least it points things out that although we might know it, we don’t fully recognize it.

Such was the case, a week ago. We were at this guy’s soccer game. OK, so he’s not playing soccer in this shot and it’s doesn’t show what the camera knows.
A short sidenote or two: The shot above represents two other sidenotes from the morning. First, Jack realized we had two cameras now. When I explained Cody got one, he quickly said, “It’s mine now.” He loves to take shots with my camera and now realized he had a better chance to show me up. OK, he cares nothing about showing me up- but he takes shots with manual focus and gets me some strange looks as other adults realize what I’ve so freely allowed him to use. Secondly, I “taught” him how to avoid having his picture taken. . . I taught him my family’s traditional portrait. . . shielding your face with a camera.
Now, Lisa ended up using the camera above and between the two of us we had about 400 shots which I narrowed down to about 60. Really, I could narrow it down more but I wanted mom, son, dad, etc to have a chance to see all of the remaining shots. One reason. . . Because what the camera showed me. . . what it knows. . . what I guess I knew but never really made note of it. . .
The “Jack Pose”- The way he stands. . . Just look:
