Somewhere in between..

March 17th, 2008 · 7 Comments · A father's POV, Parenting musing

I have been advocating to new-parent friends to invest in a good camera to snap away at their kids. In fact, as a digression my older brother was recently bitten by the photography bug, and invested in a high end camera. He now regrets not getting into it earlier ‘cos the shots he’s now able to take are so much better in terms of quality..

So anyway…..

Just like in the horror movies: The main character is a photographer, and while reviewing the photos he’s taken, comes across some weird aberrations which later turns out to be something supernaturally sinister… (a la the Thai film “The Shutter”)

Okay I dramatise!

Somewhere in between the shots of my kids, during transitions of their expressions, I have inadvertently captured what I personally believe are glimpses of what Caitlin may look like as an adult….. I know it sounds weird, but to Daddee who sees the kids everyday, these expressions are quite different from their everyday look, and it fascinates me!

They don’t look like she is just 3 years old!

Okay these ones are just goofy pictures of Caleb!

PS: I just realised that they are both wearing the same shirt! From the link above (with pics of baby Caitlin) and the ones of Caleb! Haha!

    Actually, I think you’d be surprised how much or how little a child would change in his/her look from when they are babies.

    I mean, have you check your own baby pics?

    Mike’s baby photos are such that you’ll know it’s him, although he is now a very manly version of that cute little face. Me… not so distinct.

    But you’re right about these shots that Caitlin does not look 3. Also I notice from the 2 pictures, they could actually be 2 different person.

    I agree with Kin….the 2 pics of Caitlin look like they are different persons!

    Caleb looks goofy indeed! not your typical ahhhhhsoadorable baby photos. but goofy ones are sometimes better since they are different!

    Happy snapping away!

    Moomykin, you are right; my eldest sister actually looked like 3 different persons when she was a toddler, and when she was in primary, and now!

    Let me dig up some old self-photos to compare!

    Hi, Sorry to butt in. Can I ask you a question about cameras? I have this reallly old one, I think its 2 plus megapixels or something. I noticed the ones being sold these days are around 7- 8 megapixels. My question is does it make a difference (the clarity) after a certain number (the megapixels that is). Does it take longer to download if its a higher megapixel one? Dunno who else to ask and since you were talking about cameras….

    I took some pictures last year of my then 3 year old that gave me the same feeling. A glimpse into the future.
