My nephew might just be the cutest little monster to ever roam the planet.
When I took the photo above I had just taken my camera out of its box and was following him around like a paparazzi. I had no clue what buttons were what. I couldn’t even keep the flash from popping up every five seconds.
And then, I had a moment of sick. You know, when you think “Oh no! Did I just waste money on something I’m not cut out to do!?”
Fast forward 2 hours.
This photo comes up on my computer screen in Photoshop. It’s not perfect, but I wouldn’t trade catching this moment for anything.
That wild, steady stare and the arms thrown back behind his head almost in exasperation.
Capturing the essence of a not-quite-two-year-old: priceless.
Be brave my friends, you never know what the lens might capture.
Eat well and love much my homies,
Sarah
