First Experiences As a Pro Photographer
Whiling away the hours while your parents are teaching a seminar can make for dreary days. You really have to stretch yourself to find things to occupy your time. Fortunately, dad has provided the Kelsey kids with a couple of cameras last Christmas that can be used to take some snapshots or even to produce movies. Caleb has been the camera nerd in the family, not to say that the older siblings are in any way shy to put them to use. But this is the first foray for Nathan into the world of digital imaging.
The first thing you have to do is to become familiar with your equipment.

(This is what he took)

(This is what he took)
Maybe these will be picked up by some syndicated columnist. Or maybe this is the beginning of a blossoming career. Either way, media savvy has definitely made it all the way through the Kelsey’s by now.
