Basement Tapes - A Back Up For My Noggin

Jack started coming to the aquarium with me when he was 3. When he was 4 I started taking videos of the creatures for him to watch at home and I also started uploading them to Vimeo. You can imagine my joy watching him now just a month shy of his 7th birthday picking up his camera and starting to take his own videos.

Getting a blank here.

That's very cool. It's videos like this that make me actually want to have kids at some point.

Thanks for sharing, YDJ. The years fly by don't they? Pretty soon he'll be posting videos of you to his videosift blog.

Good for Jack! If he has anything close to your eye for photography, then all he needs is the theory and practice. I'm sure he'll be on the National Geographic payroll in no time.

You could have got him a decent camara. just pop to a second hand store and get something thats decent but cheep, kids rnt stupid I used to play around with a Olympus SLR when i was young. Evan the most complex of consumer grade photograph/video devices could be worked out by a 6 yr old.

oh thanks westy...I'm well aware that my son isn't stupid...sheeesh ::rolls eyes::

He likes that camera because it's digital, it takes stills as well as video and it also has games to play. Don't you worry, I have several other cameras for him to move up to when he wants.
