Point and Shoot

Frodo has been complaining about my photography skills lately. While taking each other's pictures in the Chinese cities we visited, he had no qualms about giving me a lecture on the finer points of photography.

"Look. Let's compare pictures," he showed me the digicam pics we took of each other, mostly on the same spots.

"See? nobody would ever know that I've even been to China if they look at my pictures."

"But I don't focus on the background, I focus on you. It's a matter of perspective," I explained. Frodo actually has a point. My basic photography skills can be summed up in three words: point and shoot. I may have an ear for music, but I'm totally blind with the visual arts.

"You know what. I'd send you to a photography seminar and even pay for it myself." It is, of course, a rhetorical statement, for dramatic purposes.

"Really? I'd love that," I think he mentally hit me with a sharp object.
