One Person Photograph - Feet in the Grass

I modified this picture by cropping most of myself out of the picture. Now my grandson "Anderw" is the focus.

This is a shot of my grandson at the car show here in Sierra Vista. This was the first time he was able to put his feet in the grass. He would wiggle his toes and laugh. Then he would do it again. Grandpa is great isn't he! This shot captures the self discovery we all experience throughout our lives. This one just happens to be Andrew's first with grass.

Determining what "something of interest" is was a little difficult. Often portraits aren't about things of interest, but about getting your picture taken. I was going through some photos and remembered this shot. I thought to myself "What's not interesting about self discovery." It makes me thing why do I take pictures. I thought to myself when I asked my wife to take this shot "I want to capture this moment for later. Little did I know, I'd be using it for a homework assignment.
