There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million. ~Walt Streightiff

Here is an image I was considering for P52 this week. I had been playing around with the gray seamless studio set up the last few weeks & had gotten G to sit in front of the seamless on Wednesday because I needed to get a photo for the week but what he REALLY wanted was to just play with his Lego plane. He kept jumping off the stool to run away & I turned to snap this 1 photo of him not in front of the gray (in comparison to about 35 with the gray background).

This is what I got & when I looked at it on my computer I wondered why I was trying so hard to get him in front of the gray. This is a true capture of what he looks like every day playing and I found myself wishing I had been snapping away during this moment. I am working on letting some of the rules go & just shoot. I found myself wishing I had moved my purse & G’s backpack out of the hallway so they weren’t cluttering up the background then found myself stressing about how to process the image (like can I take out the AC on the wall & why is there a random red line reflecting down the hall, do I go dull on the color or pop, is it too bright with the window blown out, etc). All silly I know. So, now that I have dumped my heart out here is the image I chose not to use for my P52 but that I loved anyway!
