Weekend at the Mall, part 2

Some photos. It was a clear day and the East Wing is beautiful.


My son took the camera from me and shot about fifty pictures, mainly of parking meters and unknown people. Here are two of his shots.

He told me to put my thumb out. This one's from the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden. He also took photos of many of the other sculptures. He also took plenty of photos of me from behind.

This photo he took during his "whirling" phase; he decided to spin around several times before taking pictures. The results are mostly of the gravel on the mall, but here he caught a bit of me and the baby.

He takes lots of photos, which is something he wouldn't be doing if we didn't have a digital camera. He's pretty good at it, too, when he's not goofing off (he's five; he's allowed to goof).

Very cool photo of the top o' the museum.

The Chef's son (now 6 1/2) got a camera from his aunt a couple years ago; he takes really great pictures, but the photos of adults are definitely from a very short guy's perspective! ;)

I love when little kids take pictures. They are the best.

I have five rolls of film that I need to develop from over the summer with my kids, this post made me feel guilty!

You gotta go digital. No film to develop. Instant viewing. Let your kids take fifteen crappy shots with a few gems sprinkled in to their hearts content.

Kid pictures are fun... its accidental art.

You should show some of his photos to Washington Cube. She could go crazy with some of these...
