In keeping with the whole thankful/family/vacation theme for the weekend I thought I’d turn the blog over to the kids.

A few months ago they got a camera of their own. Joseph and Sara, ages 6 and 4, are the only ones that really use it and I try my very hardest to not “coach” them in any way. It’s been fun to see what they come up with. Here are a few that jump out from the past few months.

It took Sara all of about 15 seconds to master the “Jr. High girl on a school bus” self portrait.

Jo shot this. He did not know there was a bug in the tree when he took the photo but was really excited to find it there later.

Sara’s second favorite subject is our TV. Of the 1,500 or so shots they have taken about 1400 of them are of our TV.

Alex: “Why did you take this one?”
Jo: “Because I wanted to see what my toothbrush looked like.”



NOT one of the toothbrushes photographed earlier.

Alex: “Why did you take this one?”
Jo: “Because roaches are my favorite!”


Remember how I said that the TV was Sara’s second favorite subject? Guess her first?

Jo: “You can see my buggers!”

Sara snapped this one of us on a family vacation. It gives me hope that I will soon start showing up more and more in the family photos albums. :)

To see more, take a look back at our fake vow renewal we did in our backyard with Jo as the photographer.
After looking back on theses I’ve decided to add Jo or Sara as a second shooter exclusively in my top package. What do you think? ;)

Seriously, for a much more interesting story about kids with cameras you should watch Born into Brothels. It’s a crazy good movie about a group of kids in Calcutta and how their life is changed by being taught a bit of photography.
