Nice Camera!

While visiting Southern Utah, I adjusted the settings, and handed my “nice camera” over to my mom and said, “Will you please take a picture of me and Simon?”. I want evidence that I existed in this family (since I’m always the one behind the camera). Bless my mother’s soul, this is the best we got.

I chuckled when I saw it cause it reminded me of this little story going around on Pinterest

I have been told quite a few times that “Wow! Your camera takes really nice pictures”. I know those who say it mean well, but it’s not the camera that takes the photos, it’s the person (sillies!). Remember that next time you opt to have someone with a “nice camera” take important (wedding, engagement, baby, family memories) photos for you.

This soapbox moment is brought to you by Canon, and Nikon . The “really nice camera” makers. 😉

    That is so hilarious! Shouldn’t the focus be on you and Simon and not the rest of the scene? Lol awesome. Thanks for sharing.

    This is so true!! I’ve heard a million stories of people opting for their uncle or cousin to photograph their wedding because of their fancy cameras and cheap rate (aka free). Then shedding many tears over the fuzzy, off-center outcome. I’ve also seen true photographers take stunning pictures with the most basic camera.
