About 8 months after Kane was born my lovely friend Melissa got me a job at the Kodak store she worked at.
It was there that the notion of buying a digital SLR Camera struck me and stuck with me. I got so excited by the thought of a camera that my lovely Mr helped me buy one. I arranged it through the Canon rep so got it at a good price.
I was a complete novice.... I'd only ever tinkered with my Dad's old film SLR Canon Camera and had no idea what I was doing. So of course... I kept it on auto settings (I kept telling myself I'd read the giant manual tomorrow!!)
Into the 2nd week of being a fancy camera owner.. I was looking for any and all reasons to take photo's. So I followed the boys to the local skate bowl. And it was while watching my son through the lense as he walked about the park (with no idea I was watching him), that my one and only photo miracle occurred...
I'm still actually a little stunned by the shot. I remember on the day, when I saw him lean on the fence through the viewfinder .... I just could not believe my eyes! And then to see the actual photograph that was all lovely and in focus just gave me a thrill of a whole 'nother kind!
So here it is... my most favourite photograph I've taken (as a complete amateur).
I really think it's a one in a million moment captured. One that I am so very very thankful for!

It is amazing! I think you should have it blown up and framed...it is beautiful capturing images that are spontaneous and not planned, I think they make for the best images.
