My oldest son will be twelve in February. I bought him a digital camera last year for Christmas and he takes good pictures and makes little videos with it. I have posted a couple of his photographs - one of the Florida Keys and another of mute swans and their cygnets, the latter taken last June.

Greg has been watching me on the computer and asking questions about how I manipulate photos. I came home last night and he showed me his first "creation" that is more than merely experimental.
