trying to give them some space

when I got home from work dean wanted to take some pictures

sometimes I monitor him while he takes photographs with my slr-like panasonic lumix
there are the play by play commands...
keep it out of the sand
don't let it go in the water
do not swing it around like that
careful not to change all the settings
all while taking some pretty good pictures

today I just grabbed the point and shoot and let him go with it
he is respectful of the camera
but he is a child
trying to give him some space
trying to give him some trust

I watched from the house while he and grant moved about the back deck taking pictures

this was my favorite shot
