In that instant, he takes a photo of himself because the camera is aimed at his own face.
I got Bradley to sit still long enough so we could take our photo together. Gawd -- I remember sitting close to my elderly aunts and uncles and being scared to death of those pointy chin hairs, weird facial crevasses, moles and skin tags, missing teeth parts and the assorted bacteria lurking within.
My family wasn't raised to be a very huggy, touchy family. Sitting near these old folks was horrifying. Our being raised as less-huggy was most likely in direct proportion to the mystery hairs and crevasse levels of the individual with which we might be forced into a hug.

I'm pretty sure spiny hairs and fissures are one reason Bradley, prior to taking his photos has learned to shout out his warning.
"CLOSE YOUR EYES!"

Maybe Bradley is onto something - has he heard about cameras stealing your soul? Closing your eyes might prevent that! Smart boy. :)
My family wasn't very affectionate either, but as I found my own life and friends, that all changed for me!
Perhaps he learned to be wary of the flash after taking so many pictures of himself!
Lovely portrait of the two of you. Can't even see the chin hair. (Bradley's head covering it?)
He's so cute! And this reminds me that we haven't seen a Hannah/Janell photo in a while...
God, I love this. Thanks.
I've always loved old people,hairs or no hairs.
Cute pictures. Love Bradley's eyes. Gorgeous.
