What a great post. I agree whole heartedly. As you know, my daughter uses any/all cameras we own. And she takes the best pictures in the house! I'm not sure how it started, but I'm glad it did. I like that second shot on this post. I bet they had a lot of fun. soapbox moms last blog post..A Rose By Any Other Name…

I agree with you. My daughter has been using my cameras since she was three. People are shocked that I let her use my Nikon D80. She does an excellent job and I'm always encouraging her to capture what she wants. Montessori is excellent the school my daughter will be attending has a similar concept.

Nice idea.

Like the new logo(s). Did you get that idea from Jon?

What about canine camera phone pictures? Or feline camera phone photos? You know, I did a video once from a cat’s perspective.

Hey Pete- great post & heasder changes.

If one trusts their kids with an expensive gaming system, then why not cameras & cell phones? I certainly can’t replace the wii on a dime if it gets broken. Plus if they have a wii- they already know how to use a wrist strap. So no your not crazy- people just prioritize “their things” as more important in the “family material item hierarchy.” It’s usually run in order of importance: as mine, ours, and last the kids stuff… with “don’t touch my stuff” the heavily enforced rule! I am not a materialistic person. I believe it’s easier for a lot of people to break a child by yelling at them for spilled milk , then to get off their ass and get another gallon of milk, if you know what I mean.

My seventh grader had a photography project the end of the year and brought home his pictures mounted on poster board. I must admit they were really good. They also had some strange themes- he took a very flattering picture of myself (which I didn’t even remember his taking), and then some of the rest of the family. Followed by pictures of Ramen noodles, the cat under the bed, the seedlings we were working on it for the garden, our car that we don’t drive, and legos. It is interesting to see what’s important to one’s own kids. I for one didn’t know my son was a Momma’s boy who loves Ramen noodles… but it was cool to find out.
