Self Portraits

I found Easton with the camera the other day and didn't think much of it until I went to download some pictures and saw what he was actually doing with the camera. He was pretty busy boy and here's the end result. These are some of my favorite pictures he took.

The bottom of a glass. Pretty absract, eh?

His lunch for the day!!

My faves!! What a personality!

Jen said...: I think he gets his love of taking self portraits from his Aunt Shelly and Aunt Jen!! :) Love that kid!!!!; March 11, 2009 at 1:35 PM
Tricia said...: I love the pic's. Jamie's daughter did the same thing... you son's turned out a little clearer... he must have a pretty steady hand. :)

My website is trishflowers.com (real creative I know!) And I'm sure it's not at the top of the "hit list" so it would be hard to "google". :) Thanks for showing some interest...; March 17, 2009 at 5:12 PM
Annika said...: Sounds like you might just have a coffee table book titled "The world through the eyes of Easton"! That is way cute! You had better not delete those!; March 19, 2009 at 1:38 PM
Calvin said...: I actually really like the glass picture... pretty talented... the lunch picture is a little avant garde for me, I'm not sure what the artist was going for... but I am very impressed that he was "posing" for his self pics... that's all actually pretty impressive, I'm not just trying to be nice, (it's too much work....) There is no way he will someday be a photographer, he already is... get that boy his own camera and let him keep working on it, he's just showed you there is an interest there... I taught a photography class to Kristen's summer classes once... the kids came up with some amazing stuff with very little guidance.... go Easton go... if your Mom and Dad don't buy you your own camera within the month, let me know and I'll take care of it.; March 19, 2009 at 9:57 PM
