I sometimes don&#8217;t even bother looking at the screen on the back of the camera to see what I&#8217;ve got. There are days when I download my shots, look through them on the computer and think, &#8220;Nothing outstanding here. Nothing even much better than mediocre.&#8221; Sometimes, though, I am surprised \u2014 taken aback, really \u2014 by one particular photo. Today, I took close to 100 pictures of Stella. A couple stood out from the rest. This is one of them. I reduced the image size to fit the Call and Response format. Otherwise, it is straight out of the camera. I don&#8217;t even know if I can explain why it&#8217;s special. I just know that it is.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/callandresponse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/1210_surprisne_405.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/callandresponse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/1210_surprisne_405.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Store\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/callandresponse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/1210_surprisne_405.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/callandresponse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/1210_surprisne_405-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6>The Response: Store &mdash; Jessica<\/h6>\n<p>I spent all day musing on &#8220;surprise&#8221; and trying to put together a response. I didn&#8217;t really come up with anything until, as I was cooking dinner, I turned around to call someone to do a chore and was surprised by this scene. The kindergartener was practicing his writing and had set up a store. I liked the composition so I grabbed my camera. A few Lightroom adjustments later and I&#8217;m surprised (and relieved) that I managed, once again, to pull off a shot for the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Call: Stair-step Stella &#151; Cheryl I take a lot of pictures.
