Cardboard Box Fun by kwind

Cardboard Box Fun

This is my soon to be 14 year old hiding inside multiple packing boxes this morning. She makes me laugh... and I love it! I brought in a bunch of flattened boxes from the garage to start packing but got distracted. When I returned ten minutes later she was in the middle of the living room surrounded and inside them. Cardboard is such a fabulous toy!!

She's a feline sort of person, then. Perhaps she was a cat in a previous life. :) Fun shot!

Love that peeking eye! This would so have happened in my house too. I once bought a tv based on the box it came in ( it had to be big and sturdy)! My kids spends hours painting it and playing in it.

Cool shot! Love your POV!

Very cool shot! How fun! One year (my son's first Christmas actually), he was more into the boxes than the new toys. Oh to have more boxes and the kids would be happy! I remember having a refrigerator box as a kid that kept me happy for days!

Thought it was you at first. I like the composition

Terrific set of lines leading to that watchful eye! A lovely shot.

There is something so fun about hiding in a box! My kids were playing with a big cardboard box earlier today.

I know what you mean about boxes, for my cats, they seem to be more interested in the box the toys come in than the toys themselves.

I have a 14 year old grandson who has lived most of his life an extended distance from us. He spent a little over a month with our youngest daughter and he would do things that had me scratching my head sometimes. I would think to myself, "Did I act like that when I was his age?" It's kind of scary :)

Boxes can mean HOURS AND HOURS of fun for kids (why we parents buy little ones toys when they are 2, 3 or 4 when they have just as much fun playing with the boxes ; ) GREAT capture. (I am not sure why you are packing????)

Surreal, made me think of Dalì. Nice contrast.

Such a sense of humour your daughter has & this makes a cool shot....that eye is so visible!
August 13th, 2013  
@kwind Thanks, I was curious. Hope it is not too stressful.
August 13th, 2013  
Very cool shot. Fantastic processing. Hope your move goes smoothly!

she has your eyes! isn't that funny when you take away all of the other features of the face, how clearly you can see something? I actually thought it was you before I read your description.
August 13th, 2013  
Very cool shot! Love it!!
August 14th, 2013  
I agree with Katie, she so does have your eyes! Even with only one eye you can tell she has a mischievous smile on her face. Great fun shot :-)
August 14th, 2013  
Great shot! Kids of all ages seem to love those boxes!
August 14th, 2013  
I hope she always maintains that youthfulness! Cool shot and processing.
August 14th, 2013  
Did she jump out and shout boo!
August 14th, 2013  
What fun -- love the capture (of her eye?)
August 14th, 2013  
@nicolecampbell She didn't jump out at me but she tried to scare her brother.
August 14th, 2013  
@kwind - they sound like my kids!
August 14th, 2013  
Love the lines created by the box. Great framing on the piercing eye!
August 14th, 2013

Good to see they never grow up. Wonderful.

Cool! Love the minimalism. I found my boy asleep curled up in a cardboard box once (he was 4).
August 16th, 2013  
We always find fun in cardboard boxes at any age.......but hate it when it is the wrapping of a present and they'd rather play with the box!!!!!!!
August 17th, 2013  
I hope my two still have their sense of fun at 14. Love this shot. Fav.
August 17th, 2013
