[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 285032, member: 6705"] I noticed the photography in the middle of everything else. difficult child 1 is also really interested in this. She takes some great shots with the cell phone camera. Go figure. (That's a whole 'nother subject.) Anyway, for Christmas we're going to get her a decent camera - probably similar to mine, which cost me a whopping $35 after gift card, sale, and discount certificate then instant rebate! It was listed at $170. I love it. I also like digital as I don't waste film. There are pros and cons to digital but they are cheaper in the long run. Get an inexpensive camera and a 1GB memory card for her. Then... When she first gets it... Send her out to fill the card. Tell her to take pictures of [I]everything[/I] but if the subject is a person, to get their permission first. Then go through the pictures with her. Odds are at least 1 out of every 10 will be really good. If she likes them, take them to Wal-Mart and print them (or at home - I have a photo printer, but that's not normal). Get a cheapie frame - if you do a 5x7 this is helpful - and hang the pictures all over the house. If you are willing to show them off, it will also help her self esteem... My $0.02. [/QUOTE]
