Little Avedon

Little man of the house, seen here in his dad´s shirt transformed into art smock with elastic cuffs and crazy patchwork embellishments (we will add more no doubt). Crude yes, okay well it was very spur of the moment.

My guy--so full of life and energy. Where does his all this come from? I have no clue. It´s baffling.



Today I very bravely loaned him my camera for 15 minutes to see what he would shoot. He was delighted. I was a little nervous. He immediately started taking pictures of his paintings. He loves his art work and he´s really proud of it.



And he shot some crazy photos that made me realize I think too much in the box. I mean how cool is the electrical outlet photo? I love the three year old mind.




Finally he shot a wonderful picture of me and Charlotte, who by the way is busy chawing her way through a paint brush handle so she can poke her eye out with it or something.

It was lots of fun seeing things through his eyes. He needs to be given a camera more often.

That was so brave of you to give him the camera, but his photos are great! I may be inspired to see what my three-year-old shoots....

He was actually very careful with the camera. It surprised me.

I was thinking we´d do it once a week for a while and then I´ll make him a little book out of the best pictures. I don´t know ....just some ideas to keep him into it.
