We picked up an old Kodak EZ 200 digital camera at the flea market the other day for 25 cents, figuring that this would be a great toy camera for Brynne to play with. The resolution is pretty bad (and it has scratches on the lens that appears in every photo), but it stores about 90 photos - great for a little one who snaps non-stop! We shot the first one and the rest is a series she shot while getting ready for bed the other night - we're getting her diaper changed and into pajamas while she shoots away.
Check out SPT for more self-portraits!
i love the graininess of them, and the upside down one is my favorite. what an amazing idea!

They are truly "arty" photos. I wish I could take uncontrolled photos like that.

Who'd'a thunk it? Digital cameras as toys for little ones? But the photos are great--a chance to see through her eyes, huh? I remember a friend telling me once about letting their kid roam free with a digital camera--they got about 50 shots of different cartoons on the TV.

They are so vintage and lovely. And that smile is to-die!

Now you know what she is going to be when she grows up.
Thanks for the comment about quince - the trees are getting quite rare here and the fruit is hardly ever available in the shops. It actaully needs cooking which is probably what puts off this nation of eaters of ready-cooked/prepared meals.
Glad you like the quilt. It's getting lots of use.
