if you give your husband the camera

If you send your husband up north with all the little boys for a week long boys vacation…

He’ll probably ask for your camera…

You’ll probably be a bit hesitant because keeping track of four boys alone is an incredible responsibility but keeping track of the camera you could never afford to replace is a bit scary…

Your fears will be confirmed when he calls from the airplane to let you know that he forgot the camera in the terminal and the airline staff will not allow him to exit the plane to go back for it…

You will say a prayer later thanking GOD for the lovely Allegiant flight attendant that offered to go back into the terminal to locate it…

You’ll breath a sigh of relief when you receive confirmation that he has arrived up north at the cottage with all four boys and the camera is accounted for…

You’ll probably shake your head when he announces several days later that he has agreed to take his niece's senior pictures for her…

Even though you have very limited camera experience, he has none you might remind him…

You’ll probably consider texting your niece and asking her not to get her hopes up too high…

When he arrives home and you pull out the camera to download the photos, you’ll probably mentally prepare the conversation you’ll have with your niece…

“Honey, you have to understand he is not a photographer, yes it’s a nice camera, but that can only help so much… I’m sorry”

And then, the images will fill up your screen and you’ll shake your head…

What???

 

 

 

 

 

They will turn out fabulous…

Maybe it was the great camera…

or the awesome scenery…

or the beautiful photogenic model…

or the universe’s way of proving you wrong every time you make a declaration about someone else’s abilities…

 

You’ll do a bit of editing and then shake your head as you hit send and email 62 great shots to your eagerly awaiting niece…

So, if your husband asks for the camera today, go ahead and give it to him, you may be pleasantly surprised.
