Gianandrea … great example. We are often too busy rushing to the end result to see the beauty in the process!

Gavin, I do remember my nephew playing tetris not to do the highest score but to design a colorful wall. That was a lesson to learn.

Cam,
Watch our world, Livvy is on the loose! These are very nice shots.
I love to see what kids focus on and what they were thinking about at the time.

Thanks, Cam. I think you are right, she has a great eye … but I only shared the good ones … there are hundreds that are out of focus (but the composition is mostly very good)!
Claire … yes there is a link in the post. There are about 60 photos there.

I love the idea of seeing literally through a child’s eyes. I designed and deliver a creativity course intended to help left-brained folks tap into their right-brain gifts. And one classic tool for doing that is to intentionally introduce randomness. For example, in problem-solving, take the standard list of symptoms, pull some random words out of hat, stir briskly, and see if trying to make sense out of the new list trips any unexpected solutions. I imagine the randomness of the angles, subject matter, grouping, and sequence all add to the fizzy brain jazz effect of seeing the photos. So are you going to get on Flickr and post a batch for all of us to enjoy?

In addition to being as cute as a button, unless she’s the luckiest 4-year old in the world whose success at taking interesting pictures can be attributed to random chance, your daughter also has a great eye for photography!
Thank you for sharing, Gav!
