Our little lensman

We've got a 4-year old photographer in the house!

Ever since Javier discovered the phone camera, he has this habit of taking photos of everything and everyone that catches his interest. Initially, he'd take shots of the computer and TV screens, then he moved on to an actual digicam, shooting people and still life.

Whenever there's a family gathering, Javier gets the digicam and starts taking photos by himself. No adult supervision. No one telling him to point the camera anywhere. He takes the shots all by himself.

That's my talented nephew Javier. Our very own 4-year old photographer.


Maybe he'll be the next Richard Avedon, Mario Testino, or even Patrick Demarchelier.
