Wordful Wednesday, 1 of 8 Style

I'm trying to get better at sharing.
I really am.

But when it comes to my Canon, I'm a little, uh, careful.

As in, Canon 40Ds are expensive. And it was for my anniversary. And I'm a little intense about my cameras.

But every now and then I do try to let one of the older kids do a little shutterbug action. I was being very brave and very unselfish the other day when I let 1 of 8 click off a few frames.

Which was worth it.

For example:

1of8style1

I love the way she captured 8 of 8's constant motion and ever-present (mostly) smile.

And then she snapped this one of 2 of 8:

1of8style2

So sharing can be a good thing.

As long as I make her keep the strap around her neck. And I don't let her move. And I ask her fourteen times if she is hanging on to the camera.

    LOL about being protective of your camera... I'm protective of my cheap Kodak... I can't imagine what a maniac I would be with a "real" camera ;)

    Happy WW!

  13. Aren't you so glad you "shared" the camera this time anyway? I think she has a knack for it. Honestly...look how she captured the eyes and somewhat candid shots. They look very spontaneous. Maybe a nice (but not too nice$$) camera would be a great gift for her.

  18. At least you don't make her keep the strat around YOUR neck.

    I'm glad you put on your sharing hands (as we say around here) not only to share the camera but to share the results!

  19. We walked around the zoo once with one of my teen boys snapping pictures with the camera strap around my neck. It was pretty funny. I was on my cell phone with an older child who needed to talk. So, I just kept walking with the younger ones. Teen boy never asked to take it off my neck ... he just kept snapping pictures.

    He was quite proud, when at age 15 he had saved up enough money to buy his own Nikon D80 ... which surpassed my "little old" D70.

    He is one of my two "big kids" that have their own photography businesses. It's pretty cool. They work together to shoot weddings.
