I walked by our 10 year old this morning while he was playing a video game and was stopped in my tracks. I swear he grew over night. There is a new found maturity about it him, I can't pin point what it is but he just looks and acts older all of a sudden. I had to take a few pictures of course, I guess that's the photographer in me. I sure love this boy and I am so proud of the young man he is becoming. I have also had a few proud mommy moments this past week as he has been helpful with strangers when we are out in public, totally unprompted by me. There is nothing greater than seeing your child helping another person and bringing a smile to their face. A few days ago as we were driving, Camden scolded me for laughing at an elderly man riding a hot pink bike with a basket attached to the handle bars. As I laughed, he told me I really shouldn't laugh at him because it might just be the only way he gets around and that maybe he and his wife have to share the bike because it's all that he could afford. He sure put me in my place and I sure felt bad for laughing at an elderly man in front of my kids, so not my proudest moment. It's amazing the things your kids can teach you, and believe me I learned a lesson that day. I'm so thankful I get to be Camden's mom, he brings a huge smile to my face.
The lighting in my house is so hard to shoot in because of our solar screens. I set the manual setting to an ISO of 1600, a shutter speed of 1/30 and the F stop at 5.6. They might be a little grainy but I love the natural lighting so much better than flash.
His shirt says Rock Legend, the way the lighting is in the picture below it leaves a mind wondering what his shirt really says.
