The photos I am going to share with you today are none that you will find in any famous art gallery. They were not taken by anyone famous and the artist’s perspective may not be understood.
You see, the pictures were taken by my 9 year old son, with his new digital camera he received on his birthday, which he did ask for. His last digital camera, a hand-me-down from his cool parents, was worn out from so much use.
After shooting close to 150 photos, I thought it was time to download the photos and take a look at them. While viewing them, I found myself laughing hysterically as well as scratching the top of my head--- while trying to figure out what, exactly, I was looking at. Then followed by an “Ohhhhh” when he told me.
I also found myself having a discussion with him about what is appropriate to take photos of…..and stuttering through an explanation of why we really shouldn’t take photos of others with their “bums” in the air or while other’s pretended to hit their “bums”. Go figure.
So, you want to know what a 9 year old boy takes photos of? I am proud to present:

I don’t want to wear everyone out with our first presentation of photos, so I will bring this photofest to an end.
Consider yourself warned that this may not be the last entry from my son’s camera. Because I’m sure after another 100+ photos there will be plenty more to share with you all. Hope you enjoyed seeing life through my 9 year old. I’ll leave you with one more photo which was taken by the Princess.

Love these! My favorite is the paper towel tube pic. :)
I loved it! He could soon be an up-and-coming photographer. My fav was also the room through the paper towel tube.
Ditto on the paper towel tube picture! PLEASE keep these coming :)
He did a great job!! I loved the line about Eric Estrada!! That was cute. :)
I'm in the market for something to hang over my fireplace. How much are you asking for "Front lit cookie on kitchen counter"? It speaks to me.
He's got a creative eye already! Love the room through the perspective of the paper towel roll.
Fab. Get that kid in some classes. :)
Great pictures. A true talent in the making. I especially loved toothless upside down sister.
Your children are beautiful.
