I got my first Brownie Box Camera when I turned eight, learned with my father how to use it, and we'd develop our film together. I can't be hands-on, but in this day-and-age almost anyone can assist him. He's too young for his first cell phone, so we got him his first camera for his forth birthday.
If this leads someday to a vocation or passion, we can now mark those first moments!
