Oh Look! Mom’s Camera!
My cousin Laura has two little boys -- twins actually. You can see them at their first birthday party. They are bright little boys. One of them got ahold of his mother’s digital camera and began experimenting. Laura’s actual description of the event goes like this:The boys were making funny faces during snack time last night so I grabbed my digital camera. I turned it on only to discover “internal memory full.” Since I hadn't taken any pictures, I was puzzled. Turns out Jack had gotten his hands on the camera and used it to take a number of photos and three mini videos. The videos are very Zapruder-esque featuring the carpet, a blurry flash of Sam’s hand, some mysterious Fisher Price farm animals and dark shadows. No grassy knoll, though. The photos, in time order, show Jack “teaching himself” to use the digital camera. I like the little smile where he starts to figure it out!I edited together two of the videos and the three photos to create a final piece which I have titled “Oh Look! Mom’s Camera!” I submit it for your viewing pleasure. As you watch it, remember that this little kid is only 21 months old -- and apparently brilliant! Thanks, Laura!

Nathan you're the best! It's starting to become clear where little Jack gets his love and curiosity for film and music. The last frame of the video had me in stitches! Thank you so much for cleaning up the video and putting the shots together - priceless!!
