Preschool Pocket Treasures

An adorable series by San Francisco photographer Melissa Kaseman that shows her preschooler’s pocket contents that he brings home everyday.

It might be a collection of crumpled and insignificant items, but it speaks to the larger ideas of exploration, child innocence and creativity. Via HuffPost:

“The magic of childhood is so fleeting, and these objects I kept finding in Calder’s pockets represent a chapter of boyhood, his imagination, and the magic of finding a ‘treasure,'” Kaseman told The Huffington Post, adding, “I like the idea of the photographs being a taxonomy report of a child’s imagination, specifically Calder’s. I hope he carries the wonderment of discovery throughout his life.”
