Hi Larry,

Of course you need to photograph your granddaughter...I photographed my son 
too, a lot! And you are also right about the difficulty of photographing 
soccer. Basketball and baseball are a piece of cake in comparison, since 90% 
of the interesting stuff happens in small areas.

Cheers,
Nathan
