Photography for Elementary Ages
Sometimes elementary children are too young to be introduced to photography because of responsibility with the equipment. However, if you can find a good strong kid’s camera it is worth the effort. Especially if your child has shown an interest. Photography can serve as a wonderful springboard for other subjects.
