Alec the budding artist...

One of Alec's very favorite things to do is to take pictures. Grammie and Papa bought him a Fisher-Price kids camera last year for Christmas and he loves taking pictures with it. The problem is, since Mommy has not figured out how to download the pictures yet (yes, I know it has been almost a year already), Alec has taken to using our camera (when given permission) because he knows that the pictures will actually go somewhere. It also helps that the screen is about 10 times bigger and the picture clarity does not compare to the Fisher-Price. Who knew 4 year olds would be so picky? Anyway, here are some examples of Alec's photography from the past few months...

Daddy lounging in his chair being "cool".

Alec's favorite subject, his puppy dog named Crustin. There are many photo shoots involving Crustin. I suppose it is because he never has to tell him to smile and he always holds still. Just my guess...

Mommy and Asher Basher. I am constantly amazed at Alec's ability to center the subject so well. He is always very thoughtful when he takes pictures and takes his time getting what he wants to shoot.

Self portrait. Every good artist needs a self portrait, right?

Ashley, Crustin, Puppy (Aaron's doggie) and a pumpkin all layed out on Crustin's Blanket. Yes, that is right, Crustin has his own blanket (if Alec gets a blanket then Crustin should have one also, right? 4 year old logic...). Ashley was already asleep on the blanket when Alec wanted to take some pictures. When I gave him the go ahead he went and lined up the doggies and the pumpkin next to Ashley. If you look through my pictures you will see that there are about 10 pictures of this same subject from all angles and distances. He is very thorough!
