Raising a photographer? 媽媽對攝影的愛終於燒到小QQ了 (2歲7個月)

It may sound conceited as I say I am raising a photographer, but it seems happening now. Although I can't even be called an amateur photographer in regard to my skill---I just take pictures as a hobby, my absorption in photography that has motivated her to try new things is enough to make me proud of myself. 

I really love photography. The last thing I would have to give up is probably to not take pictures of my girl. And because of my enthusiasm toward photography, Lindsay developed her interest of taking pictures as well. 

She asked me if she was old enough to take photography lessons one day in our ride to a bookstore. And later she asked me again for several times as if she couldn't wait to learn more about it. This totally melted my heart. It is just like I am seeing a little "me".

I got Lindsay a kid's camera when she was about 7 months old to make her stay away from my expensive cameras for one reason and to encourage her to observe and imitate what I was doing for another reason. She did show a lot of interest in the camera, but couldn't operate it every well just yet even when she was about 2 years old. Now, she (2.5 years old) plays with her camera a lot, really making some shots of her stuffed animals. But the images were horribly blurry and most of time, they were poorly composed, only showing part of what she really wanted to catch, because of the hard-to-see teeny weeny screen and the slow speed shutter on the camera.

I had to let her play with my real camera, even if she might break it! 

So I did.

Her eyes were sparkling with fascination when she stared at the first picture she took with my camera. She looked at me in excitement and moved on to try more ramble shots of the random things in the house. After that, we all went out to take more pictures. We missed her bedtime for a more awesome time at the tennis court in our apartment. And here are some pictures that Lindsay and I took that night. It's so emotional for me seeing the world through my girl's angle for the first time and that's why I had to write this down.

At what age can a kid go to photography class? Perhaps it is when they are older than 15. Anyways, now we can still do it just for fun. :)


我真的好喜歡弄照片哦! 這真的是我最快樂的時光, 可以一玩就幾個小時, 不吃不喝的過去了,而且每看一次照片,就會想起當下的那個美好時光和笑容,拍照真的會讓人上癮,難怪到處都是業餘攝影師。


然後,我這個習慣也感染到小QQ了。

小QQ還是寶寶時, 我就買了一台兒童用相機給她玩, 目的是不讓她踫我的相機。最近她開始出現濃厚的興趣了,好幾次問我她夠大了嗎?可以去上攝影課了嗎? 然後也變得很常拿著她的玩具相機到處拍,把玩偶們擺好, 然後丟下一句: 「你們等一下厚, 我去拿我的相機。」,就咚咚咚的走掉。

我一直偷偷在旁邊看她拍得如何。後來只覺得怎麼會有人發明這種玩具相機,完全是用來抹殺一個人的才華用的啊!相機的螢幕小又不清晰,被攝物出現在螢幕上的時間又會延遲,難怪小QQ每次都對半天, 也拍不到她想拍的物品。

終於看不下去,還是把自己的Canon S95相機給小QQ用吧。

專業的果然不同,小QQ拍了一張後,眼睛整個亮起來,在家裡衝來衝去,到處拍,拍完還立刻說我要出去拍樹(因為媽媽每次都是這樣在外面亂亂拍的,哈哈)。

這股熱情實在太融化媽媽的心了。即使已經到了睡覺時間了,我還是立刻答應,帶著她到有燈的網球場去拍照。

照片當然是很多沒對到焦, 但這些都是小QQ眼睛看到的世界, 她想看的世界, 每一張照片我都要好好收著。
