Kwanzaa Storytime
Photographed for the Lawrence Times
Story: ‘Each one of us has a special purpose’: Lawrence poet, storyteller teaches about Kwanzaa
I brought my 9-year-old son with me to this and he asked to use my camera. I assumed he’d snap a few pics and I’d attempt to salvage a shot or two in post.
NOPE.
My 9-year-old is LEGIT. He was up, down, all around. He has an inherent understanding of how to frame images and understands visual storytelling and emotion. I’m absolutely floored and impressed and proud!! And now I need to find a camera for him ;)
Here’s Zephyr photographing the event
Here are Zephyr’s photos.
(I edited them, as in cropped, straightened, and adjusted tones and contrast - but the images are all his! I’ll teach him how to use Lightroom someday).
And here are my images.
In my defense, I was stuck with my telephoto lens since he was working the room with my wide angle ;)
