An Unsuspecting Boy and his Creepy Stalker Mom

Our poor kids...what we photographers put them through.

This is my son, Lucas, outside on my newly installed hammock reading today. He was reading one of my favorite books from childhood called, Mandy. I loved the book because the main character shared my name.

I watched him from the window, then ran for my camera and stalked him for the best pov and angle from inside. Poor kid had no idea.

I did rather like the peeping pov here. More shots to come in my great newly hung hammock. I've had it for 4 years now and we finally have the trees to hang it on.
we have matching hammocks.

How wonderful to see a boy engrossed in a book rather than an iPad - great photo and love the hammock.

Lovely colouring. I like the framing of this, stalker indeed.

@jocasta I'm very strict with electronics time. I need to be more strict with myself.

You wait, he will be doing somersaults with this soon! Is the book, Milly Molly Mandy?
August 7th, 2014  
A super shot.
August 7th, 2014  
@maggiemae He actually did one today. It's plain old Mandy by Julie Edwards. A Secret Garden like book.

@amandal mine is probably 15 years old but I always bring it in. Haven't really used it much... Still looks brand new...

August 8th, 2014  
Wonderful candid shot of your handsome son. He does look so engrossed ..I wonder what he is reading. Lovely framing and the b&w is so perfect for this shot. Hammock are so fun...enjoy!
August 8th, 2014  
I thought I was reading my story!! Stalker mom.. hahaa! I loved that!
August 8th, 2014  
Title made me smile!
August 8th, 2014  
Love this - not only the capture, but the description also. Nicely framed...maybe you would want to tag for the technical29 challenge?
August 8th, 2014  
I love this, Amanda! Fav. In case you didn't see my response on my wall, I'll repost on yours as well: I am SOOO sorry to keep you hanging. I got super swamped of late and my account is still not functioning properly. So, I wouldn't mind it at all if you pass it on to Annie. Is that o.k.? Thanks for your consideration.

Love the POV! It's like we are getting a glimpse into his world.
August 8th, 2014  
Perfect POV and great moment you caught here!
August 8th, 2014  
What a great POV, and a fantastic hammock - enjoy it! But beware of stalkers! :-)
August 8th, 2014  
Outstanding pov and b&w shot. Fav
August 8th, 2014  
I don't know this book but love your creeper shot!
August 8th, 2014  
Wonderful capture! Sometimes we just have to creep! Love how engrossed he is in his book.
August 8th, 2014  
I laughed at the title! Good to see him actually reading a book! The worst mistake I ever made was to buy an iPad...
August 8th, 2014  
Well stalked! Love the tones
August 8th, 2014  
Love the b/w, he plays a great part.
August 8th, 2014  
Beautiful candid shot of your son Amanda! love the sepia effects :D
August 8th, 2014  
Love hammocks and this looks like a super comfy one, nice candid
August 8th, 2014  
What a lovely candid shot of him, and I love your edit. Lucky you to have a hammock!
August 8th, 2014  
great photo and title,lol
August 8th, 2014  
Sweet shot of him and the hammock is fantastic!
August 8th, 2014  
great sneaky capture, he looks so serene. Did you look at the other lurker tags? I don't think this on fits at all.
August 8th, 2014  
@bill_fe Yeah, he doesn't look so lurky compared to the others, but I sure did had you seen me. I had a total lurker shot from last summer that I should have tagged. He's a sweet boy, a gentle kind spirit. A dream kid. It was his idea to read outside.
August 8th, 2014  
Cute candid of that thoughtful expression. Those are the best types of shots. Your hammock looks so comfy.
August 8th, 2014  
fabulous candid shot he looks as if he is enjoying the book as much as you did
August 8th, 2014  
I love your hammock and this shot of your son. Guess you have to share it but that is ok. Nice to see him reading a favorite of yours. Love your writing.
August 8th, 2014  
Great candid image
August 8th, 2014  
Lovely shot. My eldest loves to read and be read too... When he can read more I'm expecting to find him slumped in various corners reading! Beautiful stalker shot.
August 8th, 2014  
Lovely candid. So much nicer sometimes to catch them unawares xx
August 8th, 2014  
Lovely capture loving your titles haha
August 9th, 2014

August 9th, 2014  
Great shot! He looks so content!
August 11th, 2014

August 11th, 2014  
Wonderful candid, the best moments are captured unaware. Great processing too. Beautiful
