If you gave a kid a camera….

he would want to take some pictures.

We bought a decent digital camera recently. The boys have expressed an interest in using it. Back in the day, we all thought about the cost of wasted film. What waste is there now? Nothing to speak of, so why not? As long as they keep the strap around their necks so they don’t drop the camera.

I uploaded the photos the other day from their first day of camera freedom. Here you see a few prime examples of the creativity…..

Max was inspired to enter a contest with this one…. The theme is “I wonder why?” and he wonders why people destroy property. Deep, man. His photo is called Blaze Graffiti.

And Reed entered a photo, too. He wonders why bullies bully and his photo is called The Bully who Despised Duke. Note the shirt. I never asked Andrew how he felt about this.

But the point is, if there is a point, that given the right tools and no parameters (except don’t break the camera), kids create. Some grown ups forget how. But it sure looks fun.
