First Camera

I dug out my Canon Snappy 50 this week, a camera that used to belong to my mother, and gave it to Frankie. I wish I could have captured the look on her face when I loaded it with film and explained to Fran that it was now her camera. She shot a roll and a half in the apartment Monday evening and finished the second roll at the park on Tuesday. She hasn't gotten the hang of the view finder just yet, opting to press her forehead against the top of the camera and fire away shot after shot in every direction.
I was planing on getting her a toy camera (not a holga or diana, an an actual toy) but what better way to put to use a camera that captured half my childhood, and I've already ran it over with my car (long story) so it'll handle any abuse a two year old might throw its way.

ohh mannnn..... the mama and papa picture is too much. fantastic!
Have you ever seen the fisher price camer? It takes (I think) those 110 film cartridges and puts two shots side by side on what is usually only one frame at a time. Something like that. If I see one at the thrift stores in Nebraska this summer I will get one for your daughter.

Yeah I thought you'd like that one. Hell, I'd enjoy shooting with this Fisher Price camera.
