"A venturesome minority will always be eager to set off on their own, and no obstacles should be placed in their path; let them take risks, for godsake, let them get lost, sunburnt, stranded, drowned, eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches - that is the right and privilege of any free American." ~ Edward Abbey

"SHE KEEPS GETTING BETTER"


Well, she went to Washington D.C. she took her camera, and this is some of what she came back with. I really have a difficult time with this! Why can't I take shots like this! But seriously folks, this child has an eye, and while she has a long way to go technically....I am truly proud of her ability to "see". She has only been using her point and shoot for a little while. I have tried to show her, but I have learned to leave her alone. She is a photographer in her own right. She likes taking pictures of what appeals to her, not what appeals to me. I am 40 years old and am currently pursuing photography in a professional sense....I would be proud of any of these shots. God Bless this child and her vision, her motivation, and ability to "see" with a child's eyes.
I shudder to think how good I could be if I started at that age....(no pun intended)... Buy a child a camera! DO IT NOW.
