A new chimp is born. For those who do not know-the term chimping means to snap a shot then immediately look at the LCD screen and go "Oooooo OOOO oooooo" much like a chimpanzee. Cute video explaining chimping-must watch: http://www.sportsshooter.com/special_feature/chimping/index.html I handed Cass my 10D backup with a 50mm fixed lens and set it on auto and let her shoot away. Some would say I am crazy for hanging over a 1000.00 in gear around an 11 yr old's neck-but heck, she has to learn sometime!! I cannot keep the child in film at the rate she goes through it. Anyway-she began chimping right off and the first question she asked was: what do I push to see all the pictures I took? She looked so darn cute doing it-I had to share. I am so proud *sniff*...I am feeling a bit verclempt -talk amongst yourselves.
I think I am going backwards-I'll get back to my original reason to post. Reason she was playing photographer was: We went to Rainbow Acres today for the annual Christmas party. We had a great time & I will post more pictures when I go through them tomorrow. Rainbow is a Tennessee Baptist Adult home for the mentally challenged. Bill has been doing mission work there for about 4 yrs now with our favorite Uncle Joe. They have gone 1 or 2 weeks a year and have been remodeling the whole place. It was really in bad shape. All the people who have been volunteering their time & skills over the past few years have done wonders. It looks great. Cassidy & Corey helped hand out gifts to all the residents-I guess you could say they played elf today. We always enjoy when we get to go visit and help spread a little Christmas cheer. It is a much needed lift during the busy and often stressful holiday season. Tomorrow I will try to post a slideshow.
