03.18.10I went shopping today for a new computer for my son. His old laptop PC has been in death throes for some time so I wanted to replace it while it was still possible to retrieve the data on it. I was thrilled when he said he’d consider a Mac – it made my job easy. I had him bring Savanah over after school and secretly she and I went out and bought him a 21 inch iMac with a wireless keyboard and the new Magic Mouse. When he came to pick her up he was a bit surprised when I said I was going home with him, but even more so when I pulled a huge Apple box out of the trunk of my loaner car!
While driving around town Savanah and I were looking for something interesting to photograph. She’s only 9, but she’s already getting interested in doing a 365 project so I told her about the site dailyshoot.com. Today’s assignment on dailyshoot was “Find something that’s so old it’s almost timeless and make a photograph of it”. She choose her dad’s pocket watch and I choose this Catholic church. The church building isn’t really very old, but the Church itself is timeless.
I don’t know if I’ll continue using the DailyShoot for my daily photos or not, but for Savanah it will be a good starting point. I helped Savanah set up her own account at 365project.org/savanah and she’s excited to keep taking photos. I hope she continues after I return to Washington next week. Oh, and she and her dad are both loving the new iMac. We even held a Skype video conference already with the cousins in Washington.
