    Through The Eyes Of A Child

    posted 06/06/2008

    This weeks Stuff Portrait Friday is:
    SPFIf you have a child; Allow the child to take your camera and find something they like to take a picture of. Do not prompt them on what to take, leave them to themselves to pick it.

    I didn't need to give my camera to either of my kids.  They have their own cameras and take a boatload of pictures on their own. The hard part was picking one.  You see, %99 of the pictures they take are of themselves, or of each other making faces.  There was the dead animal series that Youngest child shot while visiting a friend's farm in Iowa, but I thought I'd save those for a Christmas post.

    I settled on this one.  It's Youngest child taking a picture of her older sister last fall in front of the tree that was cut down earlier this Spring.  She cropped it herself in iPhoto, and I think that Youngest child just might have an eye for this sort of thing

    Did you play?

    **update**

    Since Kristine had ALL of her kids take pics, I figured I'd better include one from the Teenager.  I let her use my good camera to shoot some action pics at the Memorial Weekend softball tournament.  However, she did demonstrate that she has an eye too in this shot of Youngest child on deck.

    Great pictures. If I get a chance to round up my kids i will have them participate.

    I just wanted to comment on your post below about the softball drama. This is what we're gearing up to deal with right now in soccer. Some parents are always 'grass is always greener' but then again others take loyalty to a fault. This year we've finally decided to switch teams after 6 years with the same coach. Needless to say, the coach is going to take it personally I'm sure, but sometimes change is good. It's nice to see other people's perspective on the same situation.
