But if you look more closely, you’ll see that it’s actually two “photographers” taking pictures of an “accident”.

(Tragically, when I first noticed this, only the green car was upside down, but in the mere seconds between this initial observation and the obtainment of my camera, it became a multiple car incident.)

(It is not known if there are any injuries resulting from this accident at this time.)

“Picture! Picture! Picture!”

Chase has the first reporters on the scene.

For a few months now, Chase has been quite interested in taking pictures. He smiles more for the camera, asks for things to be in a shot - I’ve even found him doing his own little version of “styling” a shot (turning a car one way, then turning it another).

Although I’m NOT a photographer (not in the least), Chase knows that I do enjoy taking pictures and have done so to go along with my posts and stories for basically all of his life.

You might recall about a year ago when Conner showed the same interest, even taking one of my stock photos (I have my own set of stock photos that I frequently contribute to. It’s cheaper than a stock photo service!):

It’s fun to me that I may have sparked some interest in photography by simply taking part in it myself. Makes me wonder what else I can inspire them to do.
