Budding photographer

This Christmas my 3 year old, great nephew discovered photography. He is autistic with other issues as well. He very rarely shows interest in things beyond his toys and when he does, he loses interest very quickly. He was fascinated with my camera and kept wanting to grab it. I decided to let him play with my point and shoot, so he would leave my good one alone. In just minutes, this little guy could snap a picture and then view it. After a while, he got upset and kept saying smudge, smudge. His pictures were blurry. I told him that he needed to hold very still while pressing the button. After a minute, he proudly showed me his almost in focus picture. He was so proud. He played with the camera for hours. None of us had seen him show that much focus on one thing. Then he surprised us all by using the arm of a chair and then a table to hold the camera steady. He said, smudge gone. Guess what this little man is getting for his birthday?

Thanks everyone. I love this little guy. I did not mention that since then, he has been given a child's digital camera. Well, he won't even touch it. He keeps saying, no toy, want real. I love when young kids show an interest in something and are taken seriously. You never know who they will be as adults.

What a great little guy and his pictures are very good to say he only used the camera once. You will have to keep us informed on how he gets on...

These are just quick photos I took. I cleared his off the memory card after his mom downloaded the ones she wanted. These are photos of the little guy. I can not wait until spring, so we can go outside.
