A couple of weeks ago Daniel and I gifted Eve with our old Canon point and shoot camera. It's a great little digital camera, and she loves it. She has been taking photos of everything that strikes her fancy, but mainly she likes to take photos of me or Daniel making a funny face. Why, I don't know. But that's her favorite.
Every once in awhile she'll bring it to me because "It's not working!" I take a couple of minutes and delete the photos of her stuffed animals she decorated in "bling," the twelve photos of me crossing my eyes and sticking my tongue out, the photo of Judah drinking out of his sippy cup, and the occasional photo of the sky, and our neighbor's house. I give it back to her and she's happy as can be, snapping more, unknown to her, disposable photos... You've got to love digital.
I think, in my very biased and unprofessional opinion, that she has potential. And a great eye. I let her stand on our bed the other day and use my baby... um, camera, to take some photos. She did pretty fantastic.
This is the photo she took of Eliza. Not too shabby, wouldn't you agree?

I was duly impressed. But, we were quickly back to goofy Eve...
This is her go-to silly face... You've just got to love Eve. Everybody does.

That's a fantastic picture of Eliza! It's great that Eve gets so much enjoyment from your old camera (ok, not that old, but I'm sure you know what I mean!).
As for the funny face - priceless! Made me smile :)
Duly impressed. I love her ballerina dress with glittery stars. Is that what it is?
Grammie Chips has strong genes- do you suppose face making is genetic?!

Eve is a ham. A little clown. I just think she is so much fun.
That's a great picture of Eliza! The girl's got talent!
Isn't it funny (and wonderful) to see them excited about something you love too?
Tell Miss Eve her photography skills rock! Love the pic she took of Eliza!
That picture is pretty good ( : It's so nice to encourage those things in children!
so funny- that is EXACTLY the same camera that we have sitting around, after i bought my new one. it was faithful, though. i toyed the idea in my head of handing it over to grace and patie, but hadn't gotten around to it. eve's having so much fun, i think i should get on that too...thanks for reminding me!

OH I do.
What kind of camera do you use? You take the best pictures and Eve is following in your footsteps. The picture of Eliza is a great shot.
Eve has some talent! How exciting that she already likes taking pictures so much.
How is she settling in now? Are the neighborhood kids being nicer to her?
I love seeing life through the lens - and I especially love to see it from a child's perspective. Amazing job, Eve! And yes, everybody DOES love Eve - especially Sylas. I'm pretty sure he has a crush. Don't tell Daniel. :)
