From My Good Side

Every now and then, I get caught in front of the camera instead of behind it. Where I like it. Where it’s warm and safe and filled with Snuggies. The culprit? Mootana Eloise Fitzpatrick, also known as Mooter. Her tries with “the big camera”, as she calls it, turn out to be happy accidents of photographic genius.
Except for this one. This is just… an eight-year-old on sugar? I’m sure it’s artistic somewhere. Australia, probably.
The happy accident pictures are my favorite. I too, am rarely in front of the camera. My three, soon to be four year old took a picture this past fall that I now use as my FB profile picture. My mother is in very few of the photos from my childhood, she always took the photos. I cherish the few pictures I have of her (she passed on much too early)
It’s fun to see how our children see us – from that low angle, and the picture is always askew.
I guess it’s a good thing. And since they see us do it all they time, they figure they’re doing what Mommy does. Little imitators, the stinkers. I wouldn’t have many pics of myself if it weren’t for them.
