The interesting thing about handing a camera to a 6 year old is seeing what your child sees. I picked a large target for him to practice with on purpose. Noah did a pretty good job. He enjoyed aiming out of the car window and capturing life on a drive by. Tomorrow we're going to visit the park and give him a serious challenge. Trying to keep Stephen the Minion Blur in range of the auto-focus. Noah prefers hand held, but I hope to eventually have him migrate to the tripod.

Citi Field should be opening sometime this year. It will be interesting to see if the workers will have Shea Stadium dismantled for April 2009. Here is a little Shea Stadium demolition update through the eyes of a child. We will be back later on to keep you updated on their progress.

Tomorrow's video: Snow, Ice and The Uni-Sphere in Flushing Meadow Park.

There were not many people participated in the event at Queens Crossing in the chilly new year's eve. There were no free coffee nor concert as announcement.

I was expecting at least few hundred people, but it was so quiet.

Wish the economy, the real estate market, the financial market will recover soon!
