When Brigit was a week old I got my first ‘smart’ phone. I did not know much about them, but knew that it would come in handy keeping in touch with people with one hand, expecting at least one arm constantly full for the next year or so. Besides keeping in touch with friends and family, it also means that Brigit has not known a time when more than a single device is needed to make calls, have video chats, play games, check out the Internet, send e-mails and, of course, take pictures. She has been the subject of many snapshots, and very quickly decided she wanted to take some herself. She was about two when she started using my phone to click away. Many were blurry, but every once in a while she captured an image that made me really stop and ponder. Although probably more a coincidence than plan, she has taken some pretty neat shots.

Recently she turned the big FIVE! To celebrate the occasion Grandma Sherry bought her a camera of her very own. It is pink, bounces pretty well and holds about 800 digital images. It goes with us almost everywhere. Deep down I have a hope that maybe this interest will evolve into her being a professional photographer, traveling the world recording and sharing images. Who knows if this will ever happen, for if she does not do it, I may go ahead and accomplish such feats myself, for I dabble in it myself. Here are some of her recent gems. Hmmm….why wait? Yet again, she is my inspiration.

Here are some shots from her new camera. I will dig some up from the past and post them soon.
