I told my three year old grandson, Cal, that I would make a picture of three of him on my lawn tractor. I don't think he quite grasped the concept. When I asked him who was in the picture, he said Me. When I asked who else, he said my cousin, Tyler. He didn't know who the third kid was.

Lens considerations
