Vanessa on phone 1
Image by gwilmore
Our daughter Vanessa is now in seventh grade. Most of her free time is now spent either on the telephone or on the Internet, chatting with her friends, her conversation liberally sprinkled with the word "like," without which she would probably be mute. I try to correct that tendency, but it’s a losing battle, and I know it. But the futility of the effort is equaled only by the fun I have teasing her about it. Shortly after I took these images, for example, she approached me and asked if she could have some, like, money. I replied that I didn’t think she could have "like" money, because I wasn’t sure what that was — and that if she was asking for counterfeit money, that was a federal crime, and I wouldn’t be involved in something like that. I feel certain that if Vanessa ever becomes President of the United States, her inaugural address will contain some memorable line, such as "The only thing we, like, have to fear is, like, fear itself," or "Ask not, like, what your, like, country can do for you; ask what you, like, can do for your country."
I took this and a companion image while she was sitting on her bed, talking to one of her friends. Although I was concentrating on taking the picture and not on the substance of her conversation, I’m sure she said "like" at least 20 times during the two or three minutes I spent setting up my camera and taking my pictures. Of the two I am posting, I like her expression better in this one, which was taken manually, using the vivid-colors mode of my Nikon D50. For purposes of comparison, I used portrait mode in the other image. Comments and comparisons are invited.
