My 5 year old daughter really seems to be artistically inclined. She's always drawing, painting, and now photographing and taking video's.

Last week, she picked up my phone, which is an Evo, and somehow on her own figured out how to get to the camera. So she started taking pics. She's drawn to color and has started arranging things so the "look better" in the pic to use her words.

I just thought that some of these were cute enough to share.

These two are from this morning. I was giving a private Brazilian Jiu-jitsu lesson to a cop buddy:
My buddy


Word to the wise. It is a bad idea to teach cops nifty throws. That is my 215 ass getting thrown. He enjoyed it a bit too much. Might be because he was getting choked to hell and back (hence the nickname).


My brother


My sister in law


She took about five shots of this balloon till she felt it was right.


She asked to have a light turned on so that she could take a pic of this car


My brothers cat


She's sneaky...


An eye for color and arrangement


Ace is not happy about his impending bath. Getting a 125 Rhodesian Ridgeback into a tub, when he doesn't want to go is entertaining.


A night out



She made me "freeze" so she could get the red cup


Her first attempt at intentionally arranging things for a picture (blurry, but she's learning)


second attempt


attracted to the colors


Learning to be artsy with a camera


Self Shot


She loves this little monstrosity (made in my likeness of course)

 

She's a cutie!
Good to see you're getting use out of the Oakleys

 

LOL!

Heck yea I am!

I haven't managed to break them yet!

 

Be careful, B. She'll be asking for a DSLR of her own soon.

That's awesome that she's picked up a liking for photography at such a young age! I can tell how proud you are of her. As Bonehead said, she's a cute kid.

 

Interesting perspective from a five year old. i didn't know which side was up at that age.
