Talking My Favorite Model & Training Subject

----------------------

My son is not always willing when i take out my camera for a photo session. I have now found a trick. I gave him my PS and we take photos of each other. That way, i can take countless shots of him. I am also thinking of offering him that very PS as part of his 4th birthday gifts on the 20th of this month. He loves it so much!

You have a fine young man there Drax! I love the expression in the 2nd, but the 1st is my favorite, Good job on the composition and presentation.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Lovely photos Drax, handsome young son. That's what I do with my grand daughter, if I'm taking photos she wants to too, so I give her a little point and shot. I'm surprised at how much she has learnt and is becoming my biggest critique, and she is only three.
