Last night, my little 9 year old received an “Honorable Mention” with his entry of Night Rider. The contest theme was Motion. He went up against 35 other people and end up in the top 6! 6th against 35 other adults! Not shabby for a 9 year old if I do say so myself.
He shot this last summer in Washington DC just outside the Jefferson Monument. It was about 11 o’clock (yes, way past his bedtime); I was focusing on the monument itself trying to get some neat night time stuff and he was standing there besides me when he saw the rider coming down the path. He thought it was cool, framed his shot, and nailed it the first time.
Make sure you leave him some blog love and let him know what you think.
Kudos to your son! The shot is awesome – well done! Like father, like son.
Big congrats! Like father like son
. I know you are extremely proud!! Nice work.
Hey, that’s my godson! Wonderful Will. We are proud of you. Hope we can see you soon. Love, Sue and Brad

at 9 years of age i would have never been able to produce that kind of photo, i probably lack the knowledge. but technology these days, brings youth closer and kids are much smarter these days. great shot by your boy!
well congratulations to him! that’s a great start for an aspiring photographer..
love those squiggly colorful lines he captured here.. beautiful shot.. 
Wow…congrats! 6th out of 35 adults..adults! Great colors on the wheels and top of the frame. So I guess you, Chris, didn’t enter the contest? I know I wouldn’t have beaten your son!
What an awesome shot! Great work!
This is awesome. I love the light on the water how it captures movement just as much as the rider. Great job. Congrats bud!
