Freya has decided she would like to make a photobook about the adventures of her plush toy dogs. At the moment she is a little bit obsessed with dogs! I asked her if she wanted to take all of the photos of the dogs so that it could be a book of her photos or if she wanted me to take them so that she was in the book with them. She decided that she would like a mix of both. So we went downstairs with our camera's to start her little project and before we knew it Eli had taken possession of the point and shoot camera while I was taking a photo of Freya and her dogs watering the strawberries.
It soon became apparent that Eli was not going to hand that camera back without a fight!
I think that I witnessed Eli fall in love with photography. It was amazing how quickly he seemed to figure out how to get his subject into the frame and take a photo. He was particularly fond of looking at his feet through the display screen. He has also quickly taken to the ethos that the camera must go everywhere with you. In moments that made me more than a little anxious about the safety of my camera he carted it onto the trampoline with him, down the backyard, up into their play fort. Everywhere Eli went the camera went too. Below are some of the photos he took. The world as viewed by Eli!
