It was a busy weekend, even with Friday off, but I still managed to sneak in some one-on-one time with each of my children. My boys like photography as much as I do, and their little toy digital cameras are not as appealing as Daddy’s “big” cameras. My four year old and I took a little venture northward to see the sights and stop for a couple of photos. As you can see above, he really gets into it.

Here’s one of the images he brought back. I did the color processing in Adobe Lightroom, but this is his work. I first started putting cameras in little guys’ hands so I could get a glimpse at how they see the world around them, but was quickly impressed that they are holding the camera level and composing some pretty nice shots!

Photography can teach a lot of skills and other lessons, so I plan to encourage them to keep up with it as long as they find it appealing. Besides, it’s a great opportunity to spend time together. As PJ told me on this trip, “hiking is all about taking pictures and being with Daddy.” I couldn’t agree more.
