This Is What Happens When You Give A Camera To A Four Year Old

Lindsay has developed quite the love affair with my camera and asks to practice with it on a regular basis. I don’t really mind, as it’s not like when we were kids and could waste an entire roll of film on photos of our eyeballs or the floor or up someones nostrils, and have it cost our parents money. The nice thing about digital is that they can obviously take pics of whatever they want, and it can be easily deleted with nothing lost.

I’ve been really surprised at how good she is at actually lining up a shot though. Most of her pics have had almost all of the subject in the frame, and most of them have also been in focus, which is more than I can say for most adults’ photo taking skills! ;)

I recently let her have free reign of the camera here at home, and then later at the park during a playdate with our friends Carrie and Ana. She created quite the photo story of us following a squirrel along the trails. There are also a few pics thrown in that Emery took, and two or three that I took of both of them. Enjoy.

    Those ARE really good! Wow. I’m impressed. And there are far less pictures of my butt than I imagined there would be. Thanks for that. ;)

    Ha ha, ya, I removed most of those back end ones for ya (and me, considering I was in most of them as well)!

    Thought so. And for that I am eternally grateful. :)
