I took my 5 year old daughter, Ruby, to my Camera Club tonight. She took her mum's Canon IXUS i95 and took some photos.

This is one of the better ones...thought it looked quite "Street". :)

    A photojournalist in the making. Good on the wee bairn!
    The use of a camera is similar to that of a knife. You can use it to peel potatoes, or carve a flute. ~ E. Kahlmeyer

    Well, one of them is me, and the other one is the Chairman of the camera club...I'll leave it as an exercise for the viewer to work out which is which. :)

    Great shot. The low angle makes it for me. Reminds me of the novel approach that Alec Soth took when he was denied permission to work in the UK on his commission for the Brighton photo biennial
