The photography gene

Well it’s not a gene, but I’ve still passed it on.

Up until recently I have not thought much about encouraging my boys to take pictures.  I haven’t bought them cameras.  I guess I thought they’ve had enough time in front of the camera.

Both my boys, especially my youngest, have loved taking pictures recently.

and themselves.

I’m enjoying it as much as they are.  It’s fun to see what their eyes see, what they deem picture-worthy (!), and their various photography postures (my youngest especially has gotten in some hilarious positions to get the shots he wanted).

Any recommendations on kid cameras that are good quality and durable?  If so, I’d love to read them!

Have a great Friday!
