Why Not Make It Babies And Toddlers Week?

.
Cedric

Well, I may or may not have enough images. However, there were small children all over the place when we saw my wife's family last weekend, so maybe.

This is Cedric, niece Lisa's youngest child. The photo was taken at Elvira, my mother-in-law's, old home, where she lived for 30 years before moving into new seniors' housing, seen here a few days ago. It was just full of stuff. She took all that she wanted to her new apartment. The rest of it was set out at the old house; the family bid on anything of interest, the proceeds going to Elvira.

There were several shelves of 1940s and 50s women's hats. Someone put one on Cedric. I thought it looked like Rembrandt's beret in some of his self-portraits, an impression reinforced by the angle of the head and shoulders. Behold the young artist.


I bought a perfectly good banjo for $10. I do not play the banjo and have no idea what I'm going to do with it. But it was way cool and I couldn't resist.

le banjo va peut être te donner des idées de mise en scène avec les enfants.

Delightful shot Bob, not sure if he's all that thrilled though! A banjo you say, well as long as it was 'a perfectly good one' it's all good. Never too late to learn haha!

You are right about children providing ideal subjects. we just returned from a Caribbean cruise for the wedding of my son. His bride's sister and her husband brought their 9 month old baby. He was the subject of a lot of photos.

Adore this. And too right, Rembrandt's hat. Put the bango on the wall and admire it. You could even frame it.

With your Rembrandt concept, this picture's blur and grain really works. It lends a very antique feel. If you planned that out, you are insanely gifted. I could never think to plan that.
