Through a viewfinder

This is my 16-year old son, Ishan, last winter, in Rajasthan, India, looking at something through the viewfinder of his DLSR. At that time, after trying to get some sunset shots, I ran out of disk space on my card. Transferring the images on the card to the Wolverine storage was going to take over thirty minutes. So, I realized that my shooting for the day was over. It was then that I took out my point and shoot (a Canon Powershot SD770 IS) and took this photo of him.

 

After looking at the photo later, I had a feeling that's very hard to describe; he seems like a grown-up, an independent photographer with an artistic sense of his own. As a dad, I don't think I have quite had the opportunity of thinking of him that way until now.

 

ON BLACK, this looks much better.
