I think this picture says it all without any caption.... an arm that is bent not at the wrist, but where it shouldn't. This has been one of my excuses for not posting - dealing with life right now. Good news - my son will be fine after the usual period in a cast - although his arm was slightly manipulated again after the initial set - he's a strong guy to tough it out. As for taking pictures - I snuck this picture with my phone really quickly in the hospital ER while it was up on the lightbox. I don't have an iPhone, but I still find my phone's camera very handy for these kind of quick pics - don't think it would be proper to haul out the big camera and ask everyone to pose just for historical recording purposes. But I did have a chance to use the real camera at a dressage schooling show. I've been photographing horses with and without riders for a few years now and at least I can say I've seen an improvement in my efforts. Here's a couple that I took that were from a little different angle than you usually see. An additional benefit from these pictures - they can be used as teaching tools - showing the rider what they could do differently or what they did really well.

FYI... the fingers should be closed. |
