Arrogance Opposite

I went back to the arboretum the other day. A college student, carrying a camera, saw me with my camera and approached.

"There's a hawk in a tree on the other side of the creek," he said and took me to it (I imagine the same one I photographed in the previous post). He pointed it out and I got more photos of this magnificent animal. I noticed the young man, taking pictures of flowers, nearby.

I asked if he would like to try my lens on his camera. I could see his excitement. He took several shots, it was a pleasure to watch him.

I remember when I was learning to take pictures with my little lens. There was wonder when I saw a photographer with a big expensive lens. It was fun to give this young college student the opportunity. The young lady who felt compelled to tell me the conditions were unsuitable for taking a photo missed what the gracious young man experienced.

It really is a key to life, be nice.
