Neighbourhood watch

Do I always photograph children looking into the camera?  Definitely not.  Observing them lost in their own imaginary world is always entertaining, especially when they grab a pair of binoculars so they can 'spy' on the neighbours.  These are the moments that make up their childhood.

Ulterior motives

Some people wake up in the morning and look forward to their first cup of coffee of the day.  Some look forward to skating across the frozen lake.  Some look forward to Saturday afternoon shopping.  Me?  Sometimes all I can think about is creating the next picture.  Sometimes I have to be a crafty bugger about making this happen.  'Do you want to go for a walk?', I asked my daughter.  'Do you want to go into the cultural centre to warm up?'.  'You know, if you stand over there by that glass door and let me take a picture I can give you a Love Heart sweet.'  I love it when a plan comes together ;)
