Following in My Footsteps

I have 4 Children, Oldest are 7 and 5, Youngest are 2 and 10 Months.
The Oldest 2 have shown quite an interest in 365 and took my old Point and Shoot Camera on the School Run and took some Photos, Alex took Photos of a Crane and Buildings and Tia took Photos of the Sunsetting,

My grandson started taking pictures when he was about 2 1/2. It's fun to see what they see from their level. Great to get them involved at any age. My daughter is a wonderful photographer!

My boys are 7 and 3 and they are doing this too although they do not do it "every" day and I post them to my facebook for our relatives to see.

That's pretty cool. Why not let them have their own 365 account? You could do it with them, like a joint project. :-)

@wormentude I just this minute created them one.. http://365project.org/alexandtia/365 not sure if they will keep it up but I caught Tia earlier taking Photos of Our Tea Cooking and My Backside... I made sure I deleted that though!

When I go to weddings I always arm my 6 year old with an old Minolta Dimage Z1, he goes off photographing people. People respond differently to kids with a camera than adults. He has got some funny shots although most tend to be off the sky, grass, flowers and out of focus. My eldest son of 10 is my biggest fan and critique, he loves checking the photo of the day and see's things in teh pictures that I don't.

That's really cool. I shall follow them to see how it goes. Tia's photo is really nice. The slanted horizon kinda works, somehow. :-)

@wormentude Thank You, I think they did well for their ages

@lisahutchinson I hope they keep it up. I'm trying to get my 12 yr old to do a project. No dice yet.

It's so great when kids get into art! My 11 yr old daughter started one also. Kids have some great perspective.

Callum keeps asking to use my "posh" camera to take shots, I just hand him one of the smaller ones. lol

Off to look at Alex and Tia's photos. x
