Today I am going to showcase something I found recently on my point-and-shoot camera. Let me give you a little clue - hundreds of other pictures on my point-and-shoot are like that, many of them are pictures of me (dissected of course); and many of toys.
Yes, these are pictures of Matthew taken by Matthew. The moment he did learn what camera was capable of, and the one time he saw me taking photos of objects around - Matthew been also taking pictures (since one year old). Not to mention he really listens to our instructions - to put strap around his wrist and not to cover the flash.
But there is more, Matthew also figure out how to get into settings and menus - something he refuses to listen. Few weeks ago we went to the zoo. It was first time for Matthew, and it was first time for me to find out that he changed the setting on my camera to the lowest pixel size. Well, all I can say to have something is better than nothing. I am sure other things been changed too. I almost killed myself for the pose not knowing that he set the timer to 2 seconds - yes we have too many toys around.
Hope everyone is enjoying summer, and winter in some cases. Soon kids will be back to school. Sometimes I wish I was going too - just thinking about all the cool school supplies children can get these days.
Hej, wreszcie mogę zamieszczać komentarze, bo miałem pewien problem. Super tajemnicze zdjęcia:) Pozdrawiam z Warmii.
ReplyDeleteOh Anna, this post brought broad smiles to my face and brought back some dear memories from my sons’ childhood.:-)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
a boy genius photographer, hey!
ReplyDeleteI love that there is humour in each of Matthew's dissected images. You can feel his pleasure of the moment. It is for sure that he is growing up loving his world, just like his Mama:)
ReplyDeleteIt's that time of year when everyone is busy. So Matthew is already getting the photo bug like you?

How adorable! Those are very cool shots. A great photographer, just like his mum.
ReplyDeleteIt's worth to visit Kraków, because there are many monuments (Wawel Castle, Barbican, St. Mary's Basilica) and by the way you can go to Wieliczka and see there the Wieliczka Salt Mine. You can also visit Oświęcim. There's situated a concentration camp.

Nice images are taken by Matthew. They are full of fun and joy. I really enjoyed reading the story that how he deceive you by changing the camera setting.
ReplyDeleteExcellent pictures and you're right to enjoy the time with your little one. It goes so fast ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've had a great summer with Matthew. It also made me laugh how he changed the settings on your camera. I remember my son messing with all my things and messing them up. Some things never change.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. :)
Hi Anna! Does he take photos of things other than himself? LOL! Cute though. The eyes and mouth expression look like he knows exactly what he is doing. You should do a monthly post of just a few photos he takes. Like Mother, like son!
ReplyDeleteAnd I might see what the problem is for the first commenter above from Warmia, if that is what is being asked. But who knows, my Polish is not that good. ;-) Does that say "superb secret photos"?
Glad you are haaving a fun summer!
Lovely post Anna; made me smile reading that.
ReplyDeleteMatthew is certainly starting young, and he has an excellent teacher.
Estupendos momentos de Matthew, estas fotos en "clave alta" parecen mu artísticas. espero que hayas pasado unas felices vacaciones. Mis vacaciones acaban el 1 de septiembre.
ReplyDeleteUnabrazo
I think they are fabulous. Give it to a child and set back and enjoy. Nice idea too.
ReplyDeleteA childs-eye view, it gives us adults a fascinating insight into a world long lost.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. You never know how the kids keep you busy and time flies by.
ReplyDeleteGracias por compartir, Anna.
ReplyDeleteYou obviously have a budding photographer in the family. Thanks for the cute post. Enjoy as much time with Matthew as you can (they grow up entirely too fast!).
ReplyDeleteWhat could be more fun than enjoying summer sunshine with your little one and discovering all the things you can do with a camera.
ReplyDeleteHi Anna! These photos taken by Matthew are really nice, so bright and soft!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday :-)
This reminds me of when I was about 3 or 4 and my mom let me have her old Kodak brownie. I started photographing things then and haven't really stopped. I think you've got a budding photographer on your hands. :-)
ReplyDeleteGenes don't lie Anna dear, and Matthew definitely has taken from you ;) As for the summer here - in the month of August it was simply awful - only rain, and wind, with a few minutes a day of sunshine... who knows what September will bring, but I do hope some gipsy summer at least :)
ReplyDeleteThis is GREAT ART, ANNA!!! :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteI looooooove this!!! Matthew, you take after your talented mother.
Anna, your statement below has me chuckling. You have your beautiful hands full. :D
>>>, all I can say to have something is better than nothing.
Hugs, JJ
What are children for? Having fun, among other things :-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting processing ... well done
ReplyDeleteThese photos are terribly sweet, especially knowing Matthew took them. It is such a different thing now, seeing cameras in the hands of little ones, and also how they behave in front of them, so comfortable!
ReplyDeleteHey Anna,
ReplyDeleteIsn't Matthew talented? :)
These dissected pics are lovely: hold on to them for they might worth millions one day (after he becomes a famous artist) :D.
Summer is good but I am already begging for Winter: it's too damn hot!
Enjoy your son :D!
Cheers
the abstractness really make it so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt seems Matthew’s research with camera has exposed these pictures. Like how we correct from our mistakes, he will learn to be right at pixel soon! Wonderful art work there Anna, hope he will learn the techniques soon as much he’s interested in photography
ReplyDeleteThanks for your recent visits! We are glad we can stay in touch with you, one of our first blogging friends.
ReplyDeleteGuess what? I am sending my mom to a very interesting place next, to Gloppy Goose Islands!
(JB! It is Galapagos Islands, remember? - mom) Oh yeah, sorry, Galapagos!
We will come back and visit you again soon!

Anna:
ReplyDeleteWhat interesting pictures and what great memories to put into your book of Mathew's life. He'll really love this stuff when he gets older.
Great stuff. I believe the little guy might be a genius.
Happy trails.
Bhè allora ancora buona estate perchè sta giungendo lentamente l'autunno!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos by Matthew, These are probably the youngest self portrait shots ever taken. Glad you are enjoying your summer Anna. Also, we just took our granddaughter to the zoo for her first time too. It was such a great time, we haven't been to a zoo in many years and I really can't wait to take her back. I can imagine Matthew being so amazed with all the animals. Take care.
ReplyDeleteNice and very special pictures, he is a pretty smart boy, it won't take long he has his own camera and blog, lol.
ReplyDeleteLOL. It is amazing how children are so technologically advanced these days. Your description of Matthew getting into the settings, seems to indicate that he is already developing the typical male aversion to instruction manuals :) But at least he is learning to be a photographer and having fun.
ReplyDeleteIt's me again, I also meant to say thanks for the comments you left on my family reunion. It has been a wonderful month catching up with my sister.
ReplyDeleteHi Anna, it's been a long time since the last time you posted. I hope everything is alright.
ReplyDeleteGreat that you are encouraging Matthew to take photos. My grandsons enjoy this activity as well. They love to capture things they enjoy.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to some of your fall photos.
Thank you all for all your kind comments. I will be resuming my blogging soon, and will see you shortly on your blogs. Missed you all in September, but things needed to be done, of course the good things. Again, thank you so much for your always nice comments, and concerns - I promise to keep you updated more often. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteHe is trying his artist ability with his own settings too cool! :)
