Introducing jakethepiglet photographer??

[jakethepig]

Actually this is my son David. We had a drive to Blackpool yesterday and I have been trying to get him interested in photography, without much success. He decided to come along and I let him have a go with my smaller camera. He doesnt usually come, (sixteen and all that) so it was nice to have him there. So here are a few of David. I hope that you enjoy them.

David



First Shoot


Forget the camera, I want to play ball.


Time to get my feet wet.


Thanks to everyone for taking a look.

Dave and most times Jake.

Great captures Jake! He's a good looking boy. It looked like a great day at the beach!!
I have Grandchildren older than him!!!! But 16 is an awesome age, at least it was for me!!!
Thanks for sharing these

Jake, what a lovely set of shots and what a beautiful day,didn't know you had such blue skies. I wouldn't worry about your son and photograph, just getting a sixteen year old to go out with you is a pretty good accomplishment, Hope you had a good day.
p.s. That picture your son took of the big ball if you cloned the pole out of that it could look very interesting.

Hey Jake I found with my daughter the best way is slowly she decides when she is taking her camera with us and usually when she does is eager to learn lots !

Great series and he did a good job hopefully he will feel inspired to take more .. looks like Dad and Son had some quality time which always a great thing .. thank for sharing hope he comes along again soon

nice series of shots jake. and your son's result... that's amazing. i tried to figure out how that ball was hanging in the sky until i read michelle's reply !!!! seems like a nice day at the beach, beautiful sky.

I always considered it an rare honor when my oldest was 16 to have him spend time with me.
You know it was that awkward age when the father has that second head growing out of his neck
and suddenly knows nothing of life and how it is today...not like it was when you were 16 dad ....Thank goodness it does pass I think about the time they are 25.....Only kidding... But you have succeded as a parent and as a photographer and the more time you spend practicing both areas the better you become at them

16... i wasnt into photography much, actually i couldnt even grasp the concept. what i was doing was going to breakdance battles cities all over with my crew carrying a camcorder. 23 now and i still do that but with a much nicer camcorder. lol
my question is what the heck is that ball?! looks pretty crazy, in a good way.
