I think with a realization like that the kid is well on his way to being an artist.

Nice image. Does the kid truly have a gift or did he merely trip the shutter?

I'm friends with his dad. He has been assisting for a few years. His dad has a studio and the kid is home schooled, so he has a lot of practice. His dad acted as an assistant - helped set stuff up, but the kid came up with the idea, diagrammed it, directed it and shot it.

I was at the reception for this show last night. One of the best shows I've seen on the Fotofest lineup so far. And this kid was there.... taking photos of his little brother!
