SUBJECT: MonkeyBoy
Here is MonkeyBoy doing a handstand. He was doing handstands, flips and cartwheels in the yard and wanted me to take a picture of him. I must have taken over 200 shots to try and capture this boy. I'm still not very happy with this shot. All I can say is thank goodness for digital cameras and Photoshop!

I think I now understand how Monkeyboy got his name. Adorable photo, talented son!!!
That's BEYOND perfect!
I like it.
wow he is so talented!!
You are right to say thank goodness for digital cameras.. I´ll never miss them
I have two wild boys, anytime in action...to shot photos of them is much better and cheaper with a digital cam.
Great photo!!
Dot O - Yes indeed, this is my child who crawled at 4 months, stood at 6 months and was running at 9 months.
Secret Agent Mama - I hoped that at least one of the 200 would work!
Ev - Thank you!
bentonflocke - Digital is the way to go with those boys, I couldn't imagine paying for some of the shots of grass I took. ;)
Sara G - Thanks!
He's good! Those action shots are nearly impossible to get - you did good too!
Mari - I love my continous shooting mode! It comes in handy for pictures like this.
Well, I didn't see the other 200, but I think you did pretty darn good on this one! :)
straight to a magazine, please!
