It is never too late to take up photography, and never too early. On Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2008 our son, Maximillian Fabbri, was 2 years and 4 months old. At this age a child is like a sponge, really soaking up any information given to them. Maximillian has shown a great interest in cameras for a long time and we decided to let him “have a go” at Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2008. We set out using a Holga plastic pinhole camera. Here is a picture account of the day.
Sunday 27th of April 2008
Maximillian sets out hunting for a good motif for a pinhole photograph.
But first, you’ve got to remove “the cork”.
Which side is up on a Holga camera?
Oh, it was the other one!
That dandilion looks good and will make a good pinhole photograph…
Aims and shoots.
And… in classic two year old style, has a tantrum throwing the camera! Luckily there are not too many parts that can break on a Holga plastic pinhole camera.
