Me- Friday photo of the week

I don't normally like taking pictures. I consider myself flawed in so many ways. There are many things that I don't like about my appearance that I try to ignore, including all the "won't ever go away" acne or the "forever" triple chin. These are the main reasons that I stay behind the camera- to capture the beauty I see elsewhere but inside me.
Just recently, I had my hair cut and colored. And since I had no pictures of myself with this new style, I handed the camera to my three year old and let her be the photographer, which she loves. She was able to get a couple decent pictures of me.
I wouldn't have posted this picture, but I do want to point out that a three year old took this picture. She has had no training and she had no idea what she was doing. I showed her the button to push and away she went. Many people tell me I have such great talent and they don't when it comes to taking pictures. While I have a good eye and have had training, I disagree. Anyone can take a good picture as long as they keep practicing. Talent is no good if you don't put it to use.  Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes not. But you learn.
Anyone can take a good picture. Even a three year old.
