Dad's always watching

My oldest son has taken a real interest in photography. And after seeing the star shot I made the other night he began asking when we could go out at night together to try to get some more cool shots. So, I showed him around the basics of the camera yesterday evening. But, being cloudy, we figured we wouldn't be able to go out and get any decent shots.

'Round about 10pm Vicki and I decided to head toward bed and I took a last look at the sky...perfectly clear! I went up and checked to see if Piotrek was sleeping and found him laying in bed playing Gameboy. Making a camera motion, he pumped his arm as if he'd scored a goal or something and threw some clothes on to go out.

I've got to tell you, this boys loves his dad. It was great spending a bit of time in those late hours together...time with definitely just us as even the bustle on the streets was more or less gone. We played with some different photo ideas and I let him think up some shots and even mess with the camera settings to get an idea of what works and what doesn't. And in the spirit of Cole Thompson we crudely shot this B&W (ok, technically it began as color but was later processed) long exposure shot that I decided to call "Dad is always watching".

Definitely more about the time with my son than the pictures. But what bliss to bring both of those worlds together!!
