Photos and Fun
Say, ‘cheese!’" someone cried.
Eight-year-old Nancy Drew squinted as a flashbulb went off in her face. You’d better save some pictures for when we get to the zoo, George,
she said when she could see again. You’ll never win the photo contest with a picture you took on the bus.
Her best friend George Fayne grinned. George’s real name was Georgia, but she didn’t like to be called that. Don’t worry,
she told Nancy. I’m just warming up.
Nancy smiled. She knew that George loved to win, whether it was at sports or photo contests or anything else.
Their third-grade teacher, Mrs. Reynolds, had announced that they would be having a photo contest today during their field trip to the River Heights Zoo. Everyone was supposed to bring a camera along and take lots of pictures. The best photo of the day would win a prize.
Bess Marvin was sitting across the aisle from Nancy and George. Bess was George’s cousin and Nancy’s other best friend. A girl from their class named Emily Reeves was sitting in the window seat beside Bess, but right now Bess was leaning over Emily and peering out the bus window. We’re almost there,
Bess exclaimed.
Cool,
George said. Make sure you have your camera ready. We have to take plenty of pictures if we want to win the contest.
Brenda Carlton, who was sitting right in front of Nancy and her friends, turned around. You guys will never win,
she said, tossing her red hair over her shoulder. I’m going to win first prize with my new digital camera. See? It’s a Ziperu 75-X. The battery lasts all day long.
She held up a fancy-looking camera.
Nancy scowled. She didn’t like Brenda much. Neither did George or Bess. Oh yeah?
George said. A special 75-zip-whatever camera won’t help you that much. Not unless it takes the pictures for you.
Brenda shrugged. It practically does,
she said. See? As soon as I take a picture, it shows up on this little screen here.
She held up her camera and pointed. Then I can decide whether to keep it and store it, or delete it and try again.
Nancy looked down at her own camera. It was digital too, but it wasn’t nearly as fancy as Brenda’s.
Well, I think George is right,
Nancy said, trying to be polite. The important thing is to take an interesting picture, no matter what camera you’re using.
I guess,
Brenda said with another shrug. "But I don’t even care about the contest that much. I have more important
