We had a great Christmas, and I hope you did too! My brother came in from Boston this morning, so we will be having Christmas #2 today.
I don’t post a lot of pictures of my kids, and if I do, I always ask them first. I loved this one. It’s not the best photo, but I will always remember the Christmas that my son asked for a camera. Now normally, his “Santa List” consists of tools, engine parts, etc., but this year, it was a camera. With a bit of help from Mom, he selected the Nikon 1V1. It’s a neat little mirrorless ILC camera, and this was a photo that I took as he spent the afternoon learning to use it. He’s got a really good eye, and the things I really struggle to see, he seems to see naturally. I noticed this over the past year as he increasingly began to take more photos with his iPhone, and then sent them to me. Don’t know where it will go, but I will enjoy it for as far as he takes it.
It’s almost 2013! I wish you a New Year filled with all good things.
Happy New Year, have a great weekend, and I’ll be back here more regularly, next week!

Like mother, he’s into photography already… My teenager is now taking interest too. She just asked for my old iPhone so she could use it. Happy new year Lisa!

This is wonderful! Maybe your son will be a famous photographer in the future! I love seeing people picking up hobbies since they help us channel our creative energy.

I just wanted to pop by and wish you the happiest new year. May your 2013 be full of blessings, laughter, and happy surprises. Thank you for being a blog friend and a joyful part of my life.

What a fun shot … blessings for another year of your beautiful photos.

Much concentration, he’s engrossed in something, for sure!
Is the scrolling/auto changing pics at the top of your blog built in to your blog template? Or did you add it? I’ve been looking for one forever, it’s such a neat addition. =)
Thank you for the suggestion on shooting the pink hue in the sky at night, I appreciate you! It’s suppose to snow the next couple days, so I should be able to try it out. =)

Tricia,
I am now using WordPress instead of Blogger, and this function is one of the built-ins of the theme. I have however, seen this done on Blogger, and I would imagine it can be done using some CSS code.

So wonderful – isn’t it? – to learn from our children..to see them grow into themselves and their talents! Wishing you and yours all the best for 2013!

Those little mirrorless cameras by Nikon are great. Wouldn’t mind having one myself ~ Happy New Year, Lisa!

Your son is so handsome. How nice he’s taking an interest in photography. So glad I met you through blogging and thank you for your encouraging comments this year. I still have a lot to learn, and your photography is inspiring. Have a wonderful New Year!
Steve
He certainly has an excellent teacher so very close. Thank you Lisa for all your posts and words over the past year. 2013 is very close, I can not wait to continue sharing images and processing tips. Take Care.

With a little help, your son will soon be a very great and important photographer!!

This is a great picture, Lisa. I love how intently he is looking as he inspects his new toy! I was overjoyed when I got my Nikon D5000 a year ago. I’m sure he will capture interesting things and see differently in doing so through a lens.

This photo of your son makes me smile and have a deep warm feeling inside. I can only imagine your feelings to see your own son beginning to enjoy your passion of photography! A true blessing, and a precious captured moment! Always love your b/w!! Happy New Year Lisa! xo
Barb
Love his concentration! How could he not be a great photographer with you as his mom?

Hi! Christmas #2 is better than #1? I saw your son’s photo for the first time. Nice guy!
Your Christmas present for him is very cool.
Wishing you and your family a happy new year.

Oh how wonderful! It’s amazing to see your kids turn into themselves (well, you know what I mean…no more hand holding from Mom!). What a gift it will be for you to watch him grow in this beautiful craft of photography. Enjoy Christmas #2!
Hilda

What a beautiful image of your handsome son! I’m sure that he has inherited your “photography genes” and how lucky he is to have you as a teacher! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Barbara
This is a great photo, Lisa. Says so much!! Glad you had a good Christmas and wish you many blessings in 2013!
geanina
Very beautiful picture!:)
Gail
He’s a handsome boy, Lisa! It’s so fun when our kids take up hobbies that we, as parents, also enjoy. It’s something you can always do together. Happy new year to you and yours!
Hilary
What a heart-lifter it must be to find your son is interested in photography. The bug has hit him for sure and I know you will enjoy each others hobby through the years. Neither of my sons seem to be too interested though my younger one is happy enough to capture a moment with his phone occasionally.
Wonderful photo of your boy. I’ll be posting some of mine tomorrow – without permission.. I just don’t ask… I tell!
(but I also know that they don’t mind one bit).

Love this image, Lisa. How great that you share a love of photography! My three year old grandson grabs his dad’s iPhone and takes pictures — another budding photographer!
TexWisGirl
really sweet! great shot and passion!

Glad Christmas #1 was happy one. It’s wonderful that you can share your love of photography with your son.

So nice to see your son and how lovely that he’s already got such a good eye for photography! Both my kids have also become interested this year!

I like this picture, Lisa. I’m sure you’ll see some great shots from your son and his new camera. We had nice, rather stress-free Christmas this year.
Happy New Year to you and your family!
