The Joy of Ordinary

The Camera Knows

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:
