“Dad Gives 19-Month-Old Son a Camera and the Results Are Kind of Cool” originally appeared on ABC News, and was reprinted with permission.
If you ever wanted to know what life looks like to a toddler, 19-month-old Stanley Jones shows us in new photos.
Tim Jones, his father and a British army photographer, said after giving his son a Canon G12, Stanley Jones ran around their home in Bristol, England, snapping pictures and yelling, “Cheese!”
“I’m a professional photographer myself so he sees me take a lot of photos,” Tim Jones, 31, told ABC News of his son’s inspiration. “I looked at them and it’s quite a good little perspective about how he views the world.”
Stanley Jones not only captured the family’s beagle, named Jasper, but also plenty of photos of his mother, Amy.
“He obviously looks up at everything we do or he looks down,” the proud father continued.
Tim Jones added that little Stanley even turned the camera settings to “sepia” at one point, creating a different mood to his photos.
There’s no telling what Stanley will do when he grows up, but his father guessed, “He might follow up in his dad’s footsteps.”
