P-nut loves playing with the camera. I toyed with the idea of getting her an inexpensive P&S for Christmas, but I already have a P&S (in addition to the dRebel) and I could already see DH's eye roll. Much of the time that she asks to take pics I do let her...I mean what's the harm....it's only the battery. I don't waste film. Here is a LO I made back in November with her Littlest Pet Shop Photo shoot (click on image for full credits):
About a week and 1/2 ago she was playing with the camera again while a friend and I visited and knitted together. I knew she was taking more photos than usual, but again---what's the harm? I also caught her taking some silly self portraits. I completely forgot about all of it until last night. I had taken the last 3 Project 365 photos with the P&S and wanted to get them off the card. I sat there laughing and laughing as I watched them download. Most pics are poor quality, but there is so much more to it than that. It was really funny to watch her ham it up--completely unencumbered. There has to be at least a dozen "self portrait' photos of her. I think I'm doing a layout!
She also took a bunch of other photos including her Littlest Pet Shop toys (which is why she wanted the camera), my latest yarn stash additions, my friend and I deep in concentration on our first afghan squares, and odd objects around the house.
I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't have her do a Project 365 too....hmm....On second thought, that might be overwhelming for her. Maybe instead I will give her the camera once a week to take shots of whatever she likes. Then we can go through the images and she can select 1 or 2. I'll print them and she can start her own scrapbook. She has a little stash from her 5th b-day when both her aunt and cousin gave her small scrapbook kits.
I'm going to talk to her tonight and see what she thinks. Methinks she'll LOVE the idea!
OMG how adorable!! I cant wait to see that layout!
