- His Dream - [Photo of the Day]
Uploaded: January 13, 2008 06:54:52
My nephew, captured outside of a coffee house yesterday afternoon.
When he asked me for a guitar at 3 years of age, I wasn't surprised... as we have plenty of musicians in the family.
I did purchase one (although not electric, lol)
He has been having some fun trying to learn with this new one,too!
I have a few from this shoot that I will be sharing.
Thanks for looking! :)
