That's my boy!

I'm probably just being the proud Dad, but this shot was taken by my 5 year old son (Jack). Many of you have seen him as the subject of my past photos (along with his younger brother Sam). We were at a local coffee shop a few weeks ago and he was taking some shots of his brother with my GF1 (yes, I always make sure he uses the camera strap). I didn't notice he took this shot at the time, but was pleasantly surprised that he thought to shoot this. Not a bad shot. At least to his Daddy.:smile:

 

Thanks Ray, very insightful. I was thinking along the same lines. I can only wonder if Jack was thinking this when he took the shot.

It may be amazing talent, but more likely, a happy accident.   He does seem to have an eye for what makes an interesting picture though. Back in the Fall, he and I took a little photo safari trip (he uses my first digital camera - a Canon A70) here on the El in Chicago and we were walking under the tracks and he looked up and said, "Daddy, that would make a good picture". He snapped a good shot looking up at the tracks that I printed and framed for his bedroom.

I'm certainly not going to push him into photography but it's nice to see he does have some interest (especially at 5). Gives us a common hobby that we can share.
