Young Warrior

On Saturday we joined the Buttons and Fadelys on a photo walk through downtown Franklin. There was a good group of photographers there and we all enjoyed the nice weather and great environment. Kris and I encouraged Owen to bring along his camera that we had purchased for him at Christmas. He was all for it and was ready to start shooting as soon as we got out of the van. As soon as the other children got a look at it they too were anxious to take pictures and I was concerned that he wouldn't get to use it because his personality tends to be a bit more passive than those around him. Apparently that is changing. He did not hog the camera and he did not give it up, he became camera administrator directing the other kids and telling them how many pictures they could take before they had to give it to the next young photographer. I kept hearing him bark orders and the others seemed to have no problem with the arrangement. My only disappointment is that I don't know which child took which picture...though I have a few guesses. There are a lot of pictures of Dean and several of Owen too...making me think that these two would rather perform in front of the camera than behind it. I'll have to leave a few comments for the pictures themselves which I will attempt to post below.

these three are definitely Chloe shots.

Ah! This is halfway. I'll have to finish another time. I think I could go mad doing this.
