People watcher


I am definitely an avid people watcher. I love watching busy moms juggling the stroller, blackberry, and a coffee all at once, while trying to tie the toddler's shoe. Or the man with the cigarette hanging out the window and listening to Willie Nelson on the car radio. There's also the spandex-suited dog walker in the park whose dog is a little too hyper to be anywhere near humans. But my favorite, however, is watching the mannerisms of young children just trying to grow up.






My brother, for example, sticks out his tongue on one side of his mouth while in deep concentration during homework sessions. He also likes to flick his head in order to "swoosh" his hair to one side of his head... this is what all the cool older kids do. (as it turns out, it looks like the kid just has an annoying twitch...)


Are you a people watcher?
(secretly, i worry what the heck people see when they look at me...)

  2. I watch people with great intensity. It gets embarrassing sometimes when they happen to notice. Love these pictures of your brother.

  3. Yes I am a people watcher too. When I said in my last blog post I wanted to take meaningful photos this is what I was implying. I want to work more on my people shots, not just with my kids but with others, friends and strangers. I just need to work out how and find some opportunities.

  4. I. Love. People watching. Seriously. I could go to some crowded area, like a mall or shopping center, and just sit and watch people. It's so interesting to see how people dress, how they interact and what they do. My 14 year old daughter loves it too, so I always have someone to people watch with me...

  10. i can just imagine your brother 'concentrating'! My son's four and when he pretends to be angry he does a frighteningly good job of looking just like me - the scowl, hands on the hips, then shaking the finger! He also puts his hand/fingers under his chin when he has 'to think' :-)
