Do you know how to use Skype?
Is it easy for you?
Now imagine you are 79 years old.
Imagine you do not speak English at all.
And to top it all, imagine you never used a PC. Or a cell phone.
How easy to use is Skype now?

Answer: Not a big deal if you are motivated. My favorite mother in law asked me for a computer that would allow her to talk to her daughter from Serbia. I got her a Nexus 7 tablet. Now two of them can practice Skyping each other for another few weeks, hoping that we find all issues before distance goes from few feet to few thousand miles.

Believe it or not, this was a big photographic challenge. My MIL can run away from camera fairly fast. I had no chance to setup a better shot. I literally had to chase her down shooting on fly, until I got this from behind the back. This is a real life situation. Things happen, you have to shoot fast, maybe hide, do it now light, and if flash is needed, it may be your last shot before you have to disappear from the scene.

Always be ready, shoot early, and shoot often my friends.
