Creative Mind at Work

Young Man had some arts and crafts homework this weekend. The focus at school this week are the letters P and C. He was instructed to decorate cardboard letters at will. I did help with certain parts, such as the snowflake-esque cutouts, but otherwise, Young Man did his own thing. He wouldn't let me touch his letters!

Phuture Photog

It was a warm and sunny day. Young Man chose to go to Dragon Park over the zoo. Young Man grabbed his Mom's DSLR and ran around taking photos. This is no small feat.
  1. Canon Rebel XTi is heavy and bulky for 3-1/2 year old.
  2. No large preview pane. You have to look through the smaller viewfinder.
  3. You have to obviously aim properly and click.
I think the results are pretty good.

Me on the swing.

Young Man's Shots (1)

Ignore my slouchy posture. I was ducking down because I could tell the lens was not at the proper height.

Young Man's Shots (9)

Good aim! I did not crop these.

Young Man's Shots (12)

Look at someone's trash on the ground.

Young Man's Shots (6)

Seems like someone needs an upgrade from the kiddie camera he received over a year ago.
