Several months ago, I noticed he started showing interest in using my camera. I'm sure it isn't because I carry it with me all the time! So, I hesitantly let him use it. I was surprised to see how wonderful his photos were! I mean his point of view is so different than anything I would imagine. His pics consist of his favorite things like puddles and toy trucks, but also of curious places he is unfamiliar with and little moments that only children notice. The title of this post comes from something Liam said after one of his photo shoots, "Mama, I'm a photography". </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ujgh3R9K8KY/TZNW69GkR1I/AAAAAAAAGW0/YaiCnRzdx1U/s1600/Rain+puddle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ujgh3R9K8KY/TZNW69GkR1I/AAAAAAAAGW0/YaiCnRzdx1U/s1600/Rain+puddle.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CA4eg6LRvzI/TZNWCLjLIiI/AAAAAAAAGWM/LFIMiEFinQw/s1600/colors+-+24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CA4eg6LRvzI/TZNWCLjLIiI/AAAAAAAAGWM/LFIMiEFinQw/s1600/colors+-+24.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bqLkDIKg1-0/TZNWB3TWPHI/AAAAAAAAGWI/EttKdyXBYak/s1600/colors+-+14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bqLkDIKg1-0/TZNWB3TWPHI/AAAAAAAAGWI/EttKdyXBYak/s1600/colors+-+14.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OxlNQ57FJzY/TZNWCrOkS1I/AAAAAAAAGWQ/I21mVpHaAg0/s1600/DSC_4615.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OxlNQ57FJzY/TZNWCrOkS1I/AAAAAAAAGWQ/I21mVpHaAg0/s1600/DSC_4615.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This boy's most loved possessions are his toy cars.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TMAs_yWlC_I/TZNWC5hhVaI/AAAAAAAAGWU/s4kk67qzLrk/s1600/DSC_4627.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TMAs_yWlC_I/TZNWC5hhVaI/AAAAAAAAGWU/s4kk67qzLrk/s1600/DSC_4627.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UHGahcfdT1E/TZNWDvRtGUI/AAAAAAAAGWY/6PsuLX1Krac/s1600/I%2527m+a+photography+-+02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UHGahcfdT1E/TZNWDvRtGUI/AAAAAAAAGWY/6PsuLX1Krac/s1600/I%2527m+a+photography+-+02.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is the ceiling of an elevator.

Lake Superior Photographs Soothe the Savage Beast

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have been really crabby the last couple days.  Well, nothing calms me like photos of water.  Or, better still, being on the water.  But seeing as I'm still chained to my desk for a week, photos will suffice.  I've been ogling these photos <a href="http://dans-le-townhouse.blogspot.com/2010/12/we-even-vacation-in-townhouse.html">I took of Lake Superior</a> for enlargement, framing and adorning our walls purposes.  I just can't seem to find frames I like.  Grrr.  I have another batch I'll post later that I'm considering for the <a href="http://dans-le-townhouse.blogspot.com/2010/12/main-bath-before-now.html">main bathroom</a> walls.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
