I had talked to the social worker about some of Gary's interests. One was writing and another basketball. Pretty standard I thought, but when he came in, he went straight over to the desk asking lots of questions about the stack of pens I have there and noticing things about them I never had.
I brought in a basketball from home and realized I had promptly lost it when I wanted to get some pics of Gary with it. He set right to helping me search the studio. Just as I started to seem a bit delusional and wondered myself if I did in fact bring in a basketball, we found it behind the backdrop paper.
Recently, I've started having my first old man moments (basketball situations aside) where I feel completely apart from what kids do and know. I think some movies are too violent or have bad messages... I'm looking at you Kick-Ass. Anyway, something I like to do for a shoot is put on some favorite music of the person I'll be photographing. I had no idea who the singers were Gary liked. Luckily, this old man could work Pandora and I made him his own custom radio station in less than a minute. It pays for me to bite my tongue on technology. Gary was enjoying the music and it helped that Jennifer could make him laugh.
We walked the hallway at the end. Jennifer liked this indentations in the wall and Gary jumped up for something a little different. Other people can make us look good when we listen.
