Thematic Photographic - "DOWN"

Honestly, this was an easy theme for me. Being 4' 11" most of my prospective is on the D&L. Also, when I take a photo I am trying to capture a feeling. Shooting my kids head on is great but I also want to remember long after they are towering over me that they were once small.

This is a photo I took of my daughter and I as we sat waiting for her brother to come out of school. I took this last summer before the end of school. We would get to school about a 15 minutes before he was released and sit and talk or look at bug, trees, flowers, grass, whatever. I loved sitting and listening to her observations. I have my camera with me all the time, this particular day I loved her little feet in her sandals and wanted to get a picture. I love looking at the difference in our length and remembering how much time we got to spend together.

I took this picture last spring at the park. My daughter was going up and down the BIG slide alone for the first time, so I decided to go up and wait for her to come back up each time she slide down. She had just come off the slide and was running back to the steps to go back up.
She looks so small.
