Exploring

My son Ben asked to use a camera this holiday. At first I wanted to give him a long story about being careful with it and how expensive cameras are etc. Then I realised that he was responsible and it was a step in learning responsibility. More importantly it took him into his own world. He could look at things in a new way and spend time outside just exploring. Isn't that what got me into this career of mine, the sheer fascination with the outdoors?

I think this shows a real eye for composition!

A great start.

I look forward to spending a good few hours with Ben behind the lens in the future. I also think photography is such a good tool to allow people to be kids again and see things in a new light. I always enjoy looking at how so many people can see the same object in so many different ways.
