Photowalk with Eleanor
Today, Eleanor and I took a short "Photowalk" in the backyard to kill some time while Sophia was taking a nap in the afternoon. At first, Ellie did not want to join me outside, but I was able to convince her by offering up the chance to use a "grown up" camera. As soon as I mentioned the possibility, she jumped at the chance. To keep things simple I attached the Oreo lens to the camera which is essentially a disposable camera lens glued into a 3D printed housing, designed to look like... an Oreo. The lens is a fixed focal length, with a fixed aperture of F/10, and the lens does not have the ability to focus. The perfect working parameters for a a 3 year old.
I'm actually quite happy with how well she took to making photographs. Like most photographers, her hit rate is okay, but I can see the making of a photographers eye in there somewhere.
