By Tammy Kimberley Wave Staff Writer
In his Liberty Lake home, Srikar Surapaneni sits in front of two com-puter screens, convert-ing photos to black and white, adding color ac-cents and superimposing images. He can complete many of the tasks a pro-fessional photographer does, and he’s only six.
His ability to under-stand how to operate a computer and its pro-grams goes well beyond his years, and Sri-kar puts his skills to work changing photos and using effects to enhance images.
His mother, Sonya Surapaneni, said she noticed Srikar was able to do things on the computer when he was around 18 months old. At first, she thought he was just playing around, but then she noticed he was actu-ally completing tasks.
“When I saw other children, I realized it wasn’t normal at that age,” Sonya said. “He couldn’t talk properly, but he could find things on the computer.”
When Srikar became old enough to speak, his mother would ask him to open websites and show her where photos were. Since his mom was a photographer, he would pick up skills by watch her manipulate photos in software programs such as Photoshop, Lightroom and PaintShop. He started photo editing when he was 4 years old.
Sonya said part of Srikar’s interest comes
from seeing his parents on the computer. In ad-dition to his mom using the computer for her photography business, Srikar’s father is a soft-ware engineer.
“It’s all he’s seen since he was a baby,” Sonya said.
By using the software programs on his mom’s computer, Srikar said he can do almost any type of changes to a photo and spends time on the
computer “pretty much every day.” Pencil sketch, superimposing pictures,
adding color accent, creating collages and making a mirror effect are just some of the enhancements he is able to complete. And while he enjoys taking photos, he said he most likes working on photos of people.
“My best thing is to do a twin effect col-lide,” Srikar said. “If you have one baby, you can make it look like two.”
His enthusiasm for tackling new skills carries over into other areas as well. His mom said he was able to understand the logic behind games such as dominoes and solitaire at a very young age.
While he enjoys riding his scooter and playing board games, Srikar said his favor-ite place to be is in front of the computer screen, even with his friends.
“He likes to bring his friends to play the computer,” Sonya said. “He likes to show them what he can do.”

The best Father’s Day ever By Chad KimberleyWave Staff Writer
“Mr. Sun came out, and he smiled at me. Said it’s gonna’ be a good one just wait and see!”
Sunday is Father’s Day. I’m hoping, like SpongeBob SquarePants once sang, that it is going to be the “best day ever.”
I love being a dad. And to be com-pletely honest, I love having a day that is supposed to be all about me. Chances are your dad feels the same way, so here are some ideas to help your dad have the best day ever while showing him how much you love and appreciate him.
Feed the Dad. Dads love to eat, so feed-ing your dad is a great way to start the day. Plan to start your dad’s day off with his favorite food for breakfast. If pizza is his favorite food, serve him a pepperoni pizza in bed. Or maybe he would like a big steak along with some eggs for his morn-
ing meal. Whatever you choose, it will be a great surprise over a bowl of cereal and some doughnuts (unless, of course, doughnuts are his favorite food).
Play with the Dad. Most dads love to wrestle around, throw the football or play some video games with their kids, and today should be no different. But maybe today can be the day you let him win. It might be hard if he isn’t very good at Ma-rio Kart, but today is the day you are sup-posed to make him feel good. When you are out shooting baskets, let him know how good he is. Or when you are out on the boat, give him an extra turn on the wa-ter skis. And remember all the times your dad does this for you.
Allow free time for the Dad. Don’t get me wrong here — your dad loves to spend time with you. But this is a great day to give your dad a little time to himself. Tell him he gets a couple of uninterrupted hours to do whatever he wants — work on the car, watch a game, read a book, catch some fish or take a nap. Whatever he chooses, give him the chance to have a little bit of dad down time.
Hug the Dad. After a day spent eating, playing and relaxing, make sure you finish it off with the most important things — a huge hug and three simple words, “I love you.” And if you follow these simple ideas, there is a great chance your dad will be singing, “It’s the best day ever,” as he goes to sleep that night.
“We both love sports and nature and spending time with friends.”
“Me and him both like running because we both have speed.”
“We’re both humans. And we have the same color eyes.”
“We both like to hunt for deer.”
“We both have brown skin and black hair, and we both are short.”
“He’s 100 percent Viking, and I’m 50 percent Viking.”
“We both like to garden and play sports.”
“We both like biking on trails.”
“We both love soc-cer.”

Young photographer recognized for his skillsBy Tammy KimberleyWave Staff Writer
“You cannot depend on your eyes if your imagination is out of focus.”
— Mark TwainY o u ’ v e
p r o b a b l y heard the phrase that a picture is worth a t h o u s a n d words. Re-ally great photos in a ne wsp ap er
or book typically catch the read-er’s eye first, often telling the story in a way that words can’t always do.
Photos are powerful things that can amuse and entertain us. They allow us to express our thoughts and feelings in a unique way or capture memories that we want to be able to recall down the road.
The fun thing about photogra-phy is that anyone with a camera can do it. But while anyone can click the button to snap a shot, skilled photographers will tell you that it takes time, patience and a lot of experimenting to develop skills that lead to eye-catching re-sults.
As Mark Twain said, your imag-ination has a lot to do with how your photos turn out. And since kids often have wildly creative imaginations, they have potential to shoot some amazing photos.
Ansel LaPier is one local kid who has been recognized for his skills in photography, although he didn’t always realize he would en-joy taking photos.
“At first I did not like it because my brother was always taking photos, and it was boring,” An-sel said. “I called him ‘picture, picture, picture Jonas,’ but then I started taking pictures, too.”
A first-grade student at Liberty Lake Elementary School, An-sel has received multiple awards from LLES and the Central Val-
Photography offers options for kids to show creativityShutterbug suggestions
Whether you’re think-ing about asking if you can borrow the family camera to take a few shots or you already have a camera you enjoy taking photos with, here are a few tips on how you can be a budding pho-tographer.
Learn how to hold the camera. While this may seem obvious, ask your mom or dad how to frame the subject you’re trying to take. Ask them how to use the zoom lens, or if it doesn’t have a lens, how to get in close to capture details.
Look at the light. The lighting affects the appear-ance of everything you pho-tograph. If you don’t like the way the light is affecting your subject, move yourself or the subject.
Experiment. Try shoot-ing from different perspec-tives, such as up high or down low. Figure out what the various settings on your camera are for.
Turn the camera. All sorts of things look bet-ter in a vertical picture, so take time to turn the cam-era sideways and take some shots.
Take lots of photos. As-suming you’re using a digi-tal camera, it’s not a problem to take lots of images since you can simply delete those that don’t turn out. Taking many photos is a great way to experiment with different techniques.

ley Council through the Reflec-tions Program. This cultural arts competition provides an oppor-tunity for students to use their creative talents by entering their own original works.
Ansel also recently was in-formed that one of his photos was selected as a runner-up in the Art in Health Competition spon-sored by the World Congress for Physical Therapy. The theme of the competition was “Health in Motion,” and his photography of children shooting basketballs at Hoopfest will be one of 15 pieces on display at an exhibit in Am-sterdam, Netherlands, later this month.
Ansel has been taking photos since he was 5 years old, and he said he enjoys taking photos of his dog, Harley, and scenes out-doors when he is camping with his family. One of the tips he shared is for kids to take photos of things they are interested in.
“Take pictures of things that you think are funny or cool,” he said. “I like to get down low and take pictures because you get a good view point.”

Expressions: Through the Lens June 16, 2011 • 7THE WAVE
In the spring issue of The Wave, we asked kids to write an acrostic poem using letters from the word “Spring.” We were excited to receive so many awesome poems from kids for this contest!
Our judges selected Josie Dawn’s en-try (see right) as first place. For her prize, 8-year-old Josie received a Papa Murphy’s pizza dinner, $20 gift card to Great Harvest and a DVD from Safeway.
Runners-up Benjamin Coe and Ashley Hansen also received a DVD from Safeway as their prizes. Thanks to all the kids who took the time to write a poem about spring!
Special is springPink eggs we bringRains softly singsIris grows in ringsNests we hope the wind won’t flingGoslings nestled under their mom’s wing.— Josie Dawn, 8
Summer is around the cornerPretty flowers begin to bloomRainy daysInsects start to crawl and fly aroundNests full of eggsGood-bye to cold weather.
— Benjamin Coe, 9

If you were to take a picture of yourself, what would it look like? That’s what The Wave is won-dering for our next con-test. We are asking kids to draw self portraits.
It might be helpful to think through it before you start drawing. What will you be wearing? What is in the background? Would you include any props that show your personality?
Kids are encouraged to use paints, col-ored pencils or whatever artistic supplies they have on hand to make their portraits stand out from the rest. Entries will be judged on their creativity, detail and artistic nature.
The top winner will be awarded a $25 gift certificate to Palenque Restaurant, and his
or her portrait will be featured in the next Wave newspaper.
Kids in kindergarten through fifth grade who live or attend school in Liberty Lake are eligible to enter this contest. Only sub-mit one portrait per person, please. Be sure to include your name, age, parents’ name and phone number with your entry.
Portraits can be turned in to The Splash office, 2310 N. Molter Road, Suite 305, in Liberty Lake by Friday, July 8. Contact 242-7752 or [email protected] with any questions.
