Through the Lens of a Toddler

Okay so I may be crazy... but sometimes I let Corbin use my camera. It is little palm size thing, and he just loves to take pictures. Usually I go through and delete them before I upload to my computer but sometimes I forget so some have slipped by me. It wasn't until he took pictures of his train one day that I decided It might be fun to keep some of his shots. So I have gone through my files and started a folder to keep some of pictures that he has taken. This may just be a phase that he will grow out of but for now I have a sweet appreciation for how he sees his life through the lens of the camera.

His photos seem to fit into a few categories I have decided to Label : "Things I Dumped on the Floor", "Elbows", "Dad and Mom" and "Self Portraits".

"Things I Dumped on the Floor"

I love that his little feet end up in lots of his pictures

"Elbows"

My green elbow was taken on the way to Corbin's 1st day of Preschool

"Dad and Mom"

"Self Portraits" (yes, he's usually at least half naked)

Tummy and toes, yes that's his belly button. The second one is a close up of his nose.

His new thing is to put the camera on the counter, with the timer set, then run in front before it flashes. He got that from watching his grandpa take family pictures for everyone this Christmas. Maybe Corbin will grow up to be a photographer like his Grandpa but for now... as Corbin would say "My Sl" (that's smile, he gets the sounds twisted around).
