Young Photographers

Emma had a turn with the "big" camera aka the Nikon D5000. Here are a few things from her perspective. She checked out the inside shelves of Henry's closet to make sure the stuffed animals were doing okay.
It looks like they are having a good time on their cubbies:)
And she had to get a shot or two or more of Chancers(Chance). This one as you can see is up close and personal.
Henry also had a turn with the "big" camera. He does really well with almost any camera. Here's a shot of Chance munching on a chew bone.
While he was going from room to room here at the apartment, the cat and dog were having one of their wrestling matches(happens all the time). Boots headed for higher ground on top of one of the bookcases and Henry caught him posing for the camera. The cat is annoyed at the pup, not the boy.
And here are two of his favorite subjects. This is Raddy(on the left) and his baby jaguar(no name as far as I know). There are several shots of these two from different angles.

I'm very happy that both Henry and Emma have taken an interest in photography. There will be more posts of their pictures coming soon.

Thru Their Eyes

Back in July Aunt Lisa, Uncle Brian, and cousin Charles came for a visit and during that time Henry and Emma borrowed Momma's camera and took close to 200 pictures in one sitting. About 80 or so of those pictures were of the floor. Now don't get me wrong I love the fact that they want to take pictures and learn how to use the camera, but they were getting a bit rough with my camera. So Daddy decided on a trip to Fry's Electronics with Uncle Brian, to pick up a camera for each of the kids. They were thrilled to have their own cameras that they could use pretty much whenever and wherever they wanted. He picked up two Crayola digital cameras that are very durable and the kids love them. So now when they want me to take a picture, I suggest that they use their own camera. I still take tons of pictures. So I've decided that every month I'll be posting images of things here and there that the kiddos have captured on their cameras.
