Math Lessons

If I were teaching, I might formulate a little end-of-the-year lesson plan with my camera. The ten-year-olds always want to bring their cameras these last few days of school... why not create a good excuse for them to do just that? There's lots of math involved in picture taking - lens length and shutter speed, and opportunities to discuss angles, perspective and scale.
We could use our cameras to capture objects at the same distance to calculate the height of an unknown object. I bet the kids wouldn't even know they were doing math! I look forward to time in the classroom again someday. Right now, though, I cherish time at home.
We have lots of super photographs of Celia's first couple years. And we've already captured several good pictures of Tucker. But for each additional child, we've discovered, the statistical probability of getting a good photograph -of them together- decreases by ten orders of magnitude. At least.
But I like this one. This one's a keeper. I like it because Andy took it, and because Celia and Tucker are in it. I like anything that involves Andy and Celia and Tucker. So, I like this photo. It's like a equals b and b equals c...
