He's Got My Eyes

Since the day he was born, people have been telling me that my son looks like his Daddy.  He’s been referred to as Scott 2.0 and Mini-Me.   I don’t argue that there is no debating who his Daddy is, but I will say that he’s got my eyes.

Make that eye.

For photography.

Check out these pictures I took of my parents when I was in elementary school.  

 

First we have my mom showing off her Christmas ear rings… at least I THINK that is my mom… it looks like her hands but I managed to cut off the top of her head.   Then we have my Dad showing us what I assume is his birthday gift, can’t see it though.  I did get a great shot of our wall though with my smiling Dad off to the side.  Apparently when gifts were given, I got the privilege of holding the camera.  Big Mistake.  Clearly I struggled with framing the subject.

 

Now here is a photo my son took of his Mommy and Daddy at Christmas when he was 2 1/2.  See the resemblance? 

Yep, clearly he has his mothers eye.

Daddy takes way better pictures.  Like the ones he took here at the zoo, framed beautifully, heads all in tack.

I think my son might be a protegy though… at 2 and 1/2 he was taking pictures on par with my photography at age 9 or 10…wait, maybe that means he is like his father!!
