Walking under the table: a father's story about how his 1.5-year-old baby learned to take cool photos
Children love to surprise their parents. Sometimes they do it in a not too pleasant way, if they suddenly decide to break a pot with mom's favorite flower or paint the refrigerator with markers. But still there are times when children surprise us by the fact that they are precocious in one or another area. However, the saying "the apple from the apple tree" immediately comes to mind. For example, Bristol photographer Timothy Jones, to his surprise, discovered that his one-and-a-half-year-old son definitely has a talent for photography.

"It seems that little Stan has learned how to use the camera: he already knows how to shout "Sy-y-yr!” and press the button. He gained experience with the help of old soap dishes, of which there are several pieces lying around in his toy box. But the other day I decided to give him my old Canon, which, although breathing hard, is still able to take pictures. At one time, this camera was one of the best on the market, but by today's standards it is of no interest to modern photographers," says Timothy.
"And what did I see? Without exaggeration, this little genius, underestimated by the public, began to rush around the house and garden, photographing everything in a row and certainly shouting “Sy-y-yr!”every time. He even somehow managed to change the colors in the camera settings and set the mode to sepia. I suspect that this pretty bully decided to change the style of his pictures in this way," the photographer continues.
"What can I say, he was just showing off, and it's hard to argue with the fact that he thinks too much about himself. But at the same time, the cunning asshole still diligently looked into the viewfinder, completely ignoring the LCD screen. I must admit, he managed to get into the image masterfully. And here are the pictures..."
"After running around a lot and getting tired of saying the word "Sy-y-yr!”ten times a minute, Stan began to press all the buttons on the camera in a row, managed to get a memory card out of it and insert it into the laptop slot. He got a lot of pretty good shots! Of course, not all of them deserve any attention, but considering that they were made by a child who barely turned one and a half years old, the pictures are just cool," the father boasted.
"Do you think Stan has a future in photography? Should my wife and I give him to the photo club, or is it better to sit the fidget back to the TV to watch "Puppy Patrol"?" asked Timothy.What do you think?
