Independence

A man teaches his grandson to fish--one more step on the boy's road to independence. The photo was taken with the Hipstamatic app and processed in FilmLab.

MASCULINE: My husband and my grandson sharing a moment together.

Noting beats being adored by a grandchild! This is my older granddude, Aidan, having lunch with us today. Aidan doesn't pose often, so I just snapped what I could. Generally, I would have cropped this to focus just on his face; but there was somethig about the primary colors in the glasses and the juice carton that just seemed to belong in the photo--maybe the context, and the way they just happened to be arranged to sort of steer the eye to his smile. Dark Strokes combined with Diffuse Glow lights up his face while defining his features.
