My World: Is she the world's youngest exhibited photographer?

[Jean Henderson]

Hi Everyone,

(First of all, sorry I couldn't get back to you all who kindly commented on my exhibit images request. My modem kicked the bucket as I was trying to reply to the first 2 comments in that thread.)

For that same exhibit, which opened last night, I got permission to show one of my 4 year old granddaughter's images. I bought her a 3 MP V-Tech kids camera when she was 2 in order to protect my own P&S from possible damage from her handling of it. She seemed to find it no matter where I put it! She loves photography and looks at images online with me frequently, being sure to tell me what she likes best.

Do you think she might grow up to be an OPF member?

PS: Justice's image is straight out of her camera....

Justice triumphs! She's a delight and the bond you have made with her is of unmeasurable importance. You've helped her in the growth of her view of herself and her trust in others to believe in her. Certainly, she framed the sunset well. The proportion of sky is amazingly adult!

Delightful!

Asher

Thank you so kindly, Asher!

Hi, Justice,

Great shot. It reminds us, as few photos do, that the sun is, after all, fire.

The cyan sky is wonderful. Cyan is my favorite color.

And don't crop it. Everything in it means something.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Jean.

Best regards,

Doug

Hi Doug,

My granddaughter got to see/hear your comments to her today. Her little face was a mixture of curiosity and interest. Her response? "What does he look like?"

Obviously, it is still a little stretch for her to understand how you can be "pen pal type" of friends with people you may never see. Thought you would be amused by this...
