PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP FOR KIDS

an observation: my kids do not run away and show their bum when other people take their picture.



I would love to sign Clara up for this 503 photography workshop (and I know she would like it too):


There was a giveaway for a free session, but of course I missed the deadline to enter my name. The 4 week online workshop (or funshop) for kids 7-10 covers camera and light basics, compositional techniques as well as showing kids "what is present in their lives-people and things-that are meaningful to them." There are lessons, experiments (some you can do with your family), a forum...I think I want to sign up too! I think there should be more mommy and kid type classes. Anyway, go check it out here.

Clara tells me when she grows up she wants to be an artist (who sells work at a gallery and makes lots of money), a photographer and a mom who stays at home with her kids. Apart from the gallery part and making lots of money, I think she is following my footsteps. I'm kind of flattered, but sometimes I worry that I need to diversify what types of activities I spend doing with my kids. Like more soccer and hockey and track and field, a little less artsy fartsy.
