A First Camera for Young Photographers
Photo by Naomi, age 4.
We attempt to encourage the kids' creativity as much as possible, so we were thrilled when the grandparents bought the girls a digital camera for Christmas. Unfortunately, despite a rugged-looking plastic shell and seemingly reputable co-branding (I'm looking at you, Crayola), the thing was a piece of crap. I mean, this sub-megapixel clunker required drivers to be installed (what is this, 1998?) and only worked on PCs (we're a Mac household, thank you very much). Easily returned, we used the $50 that thing cost to purchase them a new-in-box Canon Powershot A460 on eBay. Not bad for a first camera. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa Chandler!
Here's a collection of the kids' first photos.

Cool! Are those all the pics or did you delete some?
Mira looks great!! Well, you all do, of course.

Those are pretty much all of them. I think I deleted a few with little hands over the lens. Now they've got the hang of it.
