Almost a teenager

My oldest is getting close to the dreaded teenager stage.  Not quite happy with being photographed anymore, but now and then I get him to agree to my taking shots while he ‘does his thing’.  He loves climbing anything: trees, playground equipment,…  I often get him from below.

He is a real bookworm, so the glasses truly suit him.  Only problem when taking photos is that they go dark.  I decided today to try my faster lens and shoot indoors.  The lens kept giving problems, not focussing, then stopped working all together.  When I checked it to see what was wrong, I realised the lens had separated completely from the electronics…  It must have been from when I got knocked hard while in a store a little while ago.  A guy walked hard into me, knocking the bag off my shoulder.  I suspected I lost something when the bag hit the floor with that resounding clank, but the lens still seemed to be in one piece.  Apparently I was mistaken.  Now to get hold of a husband on the other side of the world, who forgot to pack his cell phone charger!
