Three Part Thursday: Part 1 - Eli and the "Da-Da-Da"

Follow me if you will, on my Thursday night, over the next three posts.


Tonight was Ian's 1st grade Fine Arts Night. They performed a play entitled, "Go Fish". It was very animated and just about everyone had a speaking part of some kind. It was really cute, and the kids appeared to have a great time putting it on.


I arrived pretty close to what should have been the start of the night. Margaret took Ian to school earlier to get ready and I stayed behind with the last two daycare kids until they were picked up, and then I left for the play. I had to park about 2 blocks away because my sons school has THE worst parking I have ever seen at a grade school, short of being an inner city school. And even then I'll bet you can at least find a parking garage nearby.


So, Margaret saves me a seat, and we're in the back of the auditorium. No biggie, I brought the 85mm f/1.8, and the field of view from the back of the room isn't all that bad. And if I choose to stand up, won't be blocking anyone. More on THAT later.


So, we're patiently waiting for the play to start, and I look over and Eli is making faces at me, giving me the "Da-Da-Da!" treatment. So I rattle off a few dozen frames of him while we wait. This was on of my faves, and not bad for iso1600.

Looks like you've gotten another willing photo shoot subject in Eli.

I'm beginning to think Eli is even cuter than Ian. (Don't tell Ian I said that!)
