From Sarah's Point Of View

Sarah is beginning photography on Tuesday in her GATE class, so she was told to acquire a camera and take pictures of her surroundings.  Here's her story in pictures from this weekend.



















Sarah will be taking these photos in to her GATE teacher for review this week.  I wonder if he'll think we're weird?

  1. Weird? I don't think so. Those are spectacular! What a collection of examples of God's handiwork as seen through the eyes of a child with lots of imagination and talent, I'm thinking!! Each one tells a story! Good for her! Her teacher will be thrilled with those pictures. Keep us updated on how that class goes for her!

  3. Well the guy with the trombone is a little bit random! Those are great pictures though. She's got a good eye.

  4. The Leibers- the guy with the trombone was the strangest thing I've ever seen while hiking!

  6. If I am one of the other kids in her photography class, that's it, I'm out.

    The guy adding a soundtrack to that setting must have been amazing.

  9. The trombonist must have had some interesting acoustics.

    I love her photo with the green plant with the red one behind it. (Sorry--I'm from the east so I have no idea what any of them are.) It is striking.

    Whenever I would say that one of our kids was weird, my husband would say, "look at us."

    Yep, we have an unusual life-


    Love April's response^

    I love the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th images, as well as the panoramic. Her teacher will probably talk to her about her framing of the panoramic, but she did really well for a beginning photographer!

  17. OMIGAWSH, they are LOVELY!

    Two photography stories..... I took pictures of my sleeping daughter when she was a tiny infant. Set the camera in the crib and forgot about it. My then-2yr old woke up from his nap, checked on his little sister, saw the camera, and used up the rest of the film (yes, I'm old). LOVELY! Angles I'd never considered.

    That tiny infant grew older. With the lesson that I learned from the older one, I handed her a camera at the park one day - I think she was four. OMIGAWD. Kids have a totally different perspective and it doesn't just have to do with being lower to the ground, though that DOES produce some AH-MAY-ZING photos?

    Kids are amazing artists. SOOOOOO glad you are supporting her!!!!

    I love the trombone player especially since he is wearing a tux. Is there a person in red in the first picture with their arms outstretched? or is it a signpost?
