Well mammaw got the Bean her first camera for Easter and yesterday we walked around Fifth Avenue and The Naples Pier (the same pier my grandfather Captain Joe used to fish off of daily during his winters in Naples). We spent the day on a photo safari taking pictures and me teaching her some of the basics. I have to say that at her young age of 4 and a half she really does a pretty good job of framing her shots.
I’ve been teaching her about trying to take pictures with the light behind you and shining onto your subjects and teaching her about some of the basic functions on the camera like the macro setting and other stuff. She really seems to love it and I had about the best time that I’ve had down here sharing one of my passions with my daughter. It was just great.
The slide show is a mix of pictures that she took and I took while on our photo safari together.
Next lesson… Teach the Bean to use the camera strap, especially when leaning over water. The sooner you start, the quicker it becomes second nature. It will save the camera one day.

I love all the pictures but obviously love the ones with the lobsters. It’s great Joey, you spend so much time with them. You’re a great dad.
