It was the first days of a new camera, so I had to test it out. On THursday, Suzanne seemed bored
until I noted the passage of time
which amused Suzanne
as Ben moved out of the frame
leaving me with a white background
as Jane relaxed
and Ben
eventually got Jane going
as I took a close up of the chess board
and then varying levels of zoom on Ben who was working on his project/game
even as I tested to see if I could record the thermostat across the room (which was at 64 degrees)
though this didn't seem to amuse Ben
as I took this closeup
and then recorded my toes
and a few more pictures of Ben at work
and the computer screen
which seemed to get Ben amused
as I checked out the bookcase across the room
and the reflections on the floor
before doing a series of pictures of Ben
which returned me to pictures of my toes
then back to the plug in the wall across the room
Ben
the computer screen
and my toes
which made me wonder about self portraits
amid a crisp picture of the chessboard and marker combination.
The next day, I brought the camera when picking Ben up at school and took a few pictures while waiting for the traffic to move through the green light at the corner of WItherspoon and Nassau
as people crossed
and Hamilton jewelers loomed
and we saw one of the orange and black people crossing Nassau
along with a member of the about to be great class of 2006
even as we passed Design within Reach (of who)
and saw that the camera took good pictures of the car clock.
Once at home, we found John and Jane
and recorded the game that Ben had made the night before (amid many photos)
and then a picture of Ben counting his lollypops.
before Jane
Suzanne
John
Ben (incognito)
and I
headed off to On The Border for dinner at too high a speed
before the chips
and the light settled us in
so that Jane
John
and Ben
could pose with my margaritta
and Ben's iced tea
and even more chips
that puckered Jane's face
as our main courses came
|
before we headed off to Ben's trumpet concert where the principals were beginning to assemble
to Flora's delight
as they studied music
and Suzanne
Ben
and Jane
were enjoying the moment
as Flora
took to the trumpet
and the group played on
|
before Flora
called Ben up
and they played a duet
|
but our focus was on Ben (a boy and his horn)
|
though when te group reassembled, he was part of it
and they took turns playing
and here is how Ben looked as he played on
