The Trials and Tribulations of a Young Photographer

When my son my biggest fear was that he might drop and break the camera. 

Well, my worst fear came true. 

I have to admit that I was upset initially, especially since it is our only camera.  But he is only three, and an accident like that was bound to happen eventually. 

We tossed around the idea of getting a kid-friendly camera — the ones that are indestructible, but in the end we decided to just repair our camera and hold-off on buying a new one. We figured, what are the chances that he’d drop it again. 

So, $50 later, we had our camera back.      

Our son was allowed to use it again, but this time I sat him down and had a long talk about being careful. I showed him how to hold it and wrap the strap around his wrist. 

I was so impressed with how well he listened and how he handled the camera just like I showed him. He was doing great, until he dropped it again.   

Anyone know of a good kid-friendly camera that won’t break the bank?

Once again let me say that I have not edited, cropped, or enhanced the pics in any way. What you see is what he managed to do all on his own.
