Pixel Darkroom Photography

A couple of days ago I started using strobes again. I was so tired of using them for some reason. I’m easing back into it. This one is shot with a couple of speedlites one on camera pointed backwards to trigger the other one (handheld) by my voice controlled remote light stand wife.

I believe I still remember my own tricycle. It was a front wheel drive (sic!) it had an iron front wheel. At some point the wheel started to wobble and I kinda lost traction with it. I realized also that you couldn’t break well with a tricycle and thus should stay away from steep hills or valleys. I remember a story from my father’s own childhood, the way he told it to us. Someone dared him to go down a steep hill. He asked, “who? ME!?” [doesn't dare go down?] So he went. He can’t remember who got to the bottom first, the tricycle or him. I guess it was a first lesson in modesty and pride.

My daughter is having so much fun with this little big truck. She keeps pushing it uphill, get in and then “weeeee” back downhill. At the beginning I was a bit afraid she might get hurt, but it turns out that even though she can’t steer or brake, she handles it pretty well. I realize I enjoy photographing kids more and more. Here’s Day 259.
