My skills as a photographer is modest. Yet my conceit is such that I buy a complex, expensive piece of precision digital optics and shoot it in auto setting. I think it's kind of like buying a vintage Ferrari and retrofitting a slushbox. So the resulting pictures are pedestrian at best, and if my camera could sigh with dull disappointment, well, too bad. I shot this picture at the Georgia Aquarium last weekend. By some happy accident or a deeply latent pool of unexpected talent, I ended up with a shot that I love. Hyperbole being the disease of overly sentimental parents, I think it's the bestest picture ever of the two of my favorite people in the world, and it is, as the topic stated, life affirming.
