daani’s been picking up the camera a lot these days.

“i just wanna take your picture,” she says.

i’m actually pretty excited about this because she’s getting to a good age to start learning about some of the tools i love to use to express and share. which means we can share in that. and sharing is caring and caring loves people. at least that’s what my niece ayah says.

so she goes into my phone and sets up her shot and clicks away. and she literally does just that. it’s something i teach my students not to do, you know, the quick succession of shots without a steady hand or distinct aim…

just clickclickclickclickclickclick.

but you know what? there’s some real magic here. i love how the viewer sees only snippets. there’s a little mystery. and mood. and it’s kind of abstract.

ha.

she’s got a style all her own. like mama, like baby.
