As the kids grow we get to see them change and gather interest in new things. Abel has impressed us lately with his creative spirit through his drawings and photography. My camera phone has long been filled with random shots taken around the house while I'm away or sleeping. Out of all the boys, Abel loves posing for the camera.
Last week I took Abel on a little excursion to the old Wheland Foundry grounds to capture the textures and colors of the industrial plant. It was exciting to see him so engaged, looking through the viewfinder, shooting away and loving it. At one point, noticing a large drainage area beside the railroad tracks, he commented that the foundry "is a castle and here is the moat."
Being the middle child is hard, especially when the older seems to be great at everything he tries, but I'm glad Abel is finding his own voice and confidence through his creative ideas and passions.

Ohhh, I love this picture. I have been wanting a Holga for so long. Everything has that wonderful grainy nostalgic look to it. What a lovely day for you and Abel.
