Why was Mrs. Bush was taking pictures of the first pitch of game four?

It was wonderful to see President Bush and President Bush on hand for the first pitch of game four (HT: Denny Burk).

It was interesting to notice that Mrs. Bush was clicking pictures with a point and shoot camera.  Why?  Is she really going to go home and download those on her pc?  Does she scrapbook?  Wasn’t there a professional photographer on hand with a $10,000 lens who would have made friends with her on Facebook and sent her a copy?

Here’s my theory.  As an amateur photographer, taking pictures allows us to engage in the moment – – to be a part of the experience more directly.  Mrs. Bush wanted her own pictures.  Whether or not she edits them in Photoshop is not the point.

So, if you’ll allow me, I’ve included not only the Bush video, but my favorite picture from Stillman Valley’s first round playoff win on Saturday.
