WILL THE PHOTOGRAPHY MANTLE GET PASSED AT THE BROWNSVILLE OBSERVER? WHO KNOWS?

It's no secret that Nena was the photographer for the Brownsville Observer the last seven years, but also the videographer.  With one decent eye, the other lost to glaucoma years ago, Nena usually captured the image first seen in her mind's eye.

Grandson Jack, the photography heir apparent, always seems to get what he's after in one take.

Jack will whisper:  "Tell me exactly what you want in the picture."

If I say: "Get both men in the picture, plus the desk they're sitting at and the sign behind them on the wall," he fulfills the request and takes his seat.

Who knows if the kid will actually pursue photography as a craft or vocation?  Perhaps, he will do that along with other things.

Images can also be created by computer programs, such as Microsoft Paint.  Recently, I've given my grandson a day off from grammar or spelling to spend some time with the app.

Jack was even prouder of a working drum machine he created on Minecraft.  It is not just a picture of a drum machine, but a working machine with an actual drum loop.  Don't ask me how that's done.
