“Looking at me” Photograph

I have commented before about how more likely than adults children are to notice there’s a camera pointing at them and that this could be due to my camera being closer to their eye-level, them having better eye-sight or that we really are more observant when young.

Another possibility occurred to me recently when seeing just how many photographs people were taking of a friend’s young child and that child’s obvious pleasure in the process. Perhaps children are more tuned into having their picture taken than I was when young and thereby cameras are prominently featured in their radar.

Photograph taken at “Saturday Walking Street”, Chiang Mai, Thailand
