Yep, it’s World Photo Day. More than 200,000 photos are uploaded to Facebook EVERY minute! Over 880 BILLION images were taken in 2014! And to celebrate this we have World Photo Day. Being that we are photographers, this might seem as silly as national donut day but we who love donuts, take that day very seriously. I thought about the day and thought we should put our own twist on it. I propose we make it World Photo Day to introduce a kid to photography. I love working with kids with a camera, they just see the world so differently. It just makes me smile. We were very fortunate that both of our boys seemed to take to photography. This is Brent at age four with “his” camera photographing a Black-chinned Hummer nest. He had a “toy” Nikon he played with so it was no surprise that his first word was literally, Nikon. Kids say the darndest things and when we place a camera in their hands, they can say it with a photograph!
So, get your camera out today, take a walk with a friend and celebrate the day … everyday of the year!
