About the Image(s)
This photograph was taken several months ago at Longwood Gardens with a small Chinese digital point and shoot camera that looks like a miniature Rolleiflex twin lens. It cost about $40. I was trying to see if a 'toy' camera could make an interesting photograph. Of course, my fancier cameras can produce better quality images, but this little camera makes reasonable captures. I read a lot in this scene and am interested in what our group thinks about this moment and these four people.

It is very balanced and symmetrical. The fountain is in the middle and the people are also balanced. Both look like mother and adult child. It also looks like there may be a moment of reflection for both, based on the position of their head.
Technically, I think it is like a medium grade cell phone. The trees are a bit fuzzy but there is plenty of detail overall.   Posted: 01/20/2026 14:25:17
