Photo Kids.

I think kids are interesting.
I like to strike up a conversation with kids when I can.
It's pretty rare, I don't know many people with children,
but I enjoy the innocent honesty that you get from a child.
This writing, however, is not about what they say,
already I am getting off topic. :)
I am interested in what they see.
I have decided that when I have kids,
I will make sure they have a camera at all times.
I'd probably prefer to go with some disposable 35mm camera,
something that wouldn't matter if they lost it, broke it, whatever.
I am curious about what pictures little kids would take.
I am interested in the angles they'd shoot at.
I'm sure that most of the pictures would be impulsive snaps
that are out of focus, fuzzy, blurry,
and the targeted object of the picture would probably be half out of the frame.
However, I think it would be interesting to go through a roll of child's film.
I want to know what catches their eye.
I want to know what they thought was worth capturing in their shutter.
I want to know what they are seeing in the scenery.
In a way, I want to be able to see something through the eyes of a child.

I would have albums and albums of their photos.
Granted, I would hopefully have a child that willingly goes along with their crazy mom.
I would have walls that are filled with frames holding their photos.
We could use their photos for collages.
We could use the photos to create pages in books.
Cards for relatives.
Something for them to look at when they are older.
Something so they can see what they saw when they were a child.

And who knows,
starting a child off this way might lead to something more.
I think the more confidence the child has in pursuing their vision could be a good thing.
Maybe that confidence would lead them to be more artist.
Maybe they would embrace their creativity.
Maybe.
