Michelle's Close-Ups

When I have a camera in my hands I feel happy.  

I feel like I am learning something...  I can be someone.

Not all of the kids enjoyed having their pictures taken.  One young girl (~12 years old), in particular, preferred to be behind the lens.  I let her borrow my camera for most of the day and here are some of my favorites of her images:  

I told Michelle that, in the United States, when someone takes good photographs, we say that person has "a good eye."  I told her that she has a good eye.

And then I said that her other eye wasn't too bad either...  ;)

I got a laugh with that one.  :)

Later, however, she topped me - her mother asked all of the children if they had thanked me for their gifts and I said that they had thanked me, about 100 times.  Michelle piped up, "Yes, if you take away the 2 zeros..."

I guess I should add that she has a quick wit along with her good eye!  :)
