A Very Significant Picture

By drorzel on July 25, 2011.

Here is a very significant picture:

"What's significant about that?" you ask. "It's slightly out of focus and oddly framed. Why should I care?"

You should care because of the photographer:

That's right, SteelyKid has a camera now-- we gave her my old Canon A95. She was playing with Kate's smaller point-and-shoot camera (I forget the model) yesterday, and having a little trouble because it's so small her fingers kept getting in the way. The A95 is a little bigger, and while it's on the heavy side, it fits her hand reasonably well. And she took right to using it.

And, because the laws of the Internet require the posting of mutual picture-taking pictures, we also have this set:

Hers might actually be better in this case, but that's because she still didn't want her picture taken, so I shot it from the position you see there. I don't think it's bad, for being shot blind...
