This photo was taken by a child in Haiti at a View Finder Workshop. View Finder was created to help disadvantaged children discover self-expression, self-confidence and self-worth through photography. You can read my post about View Finder on pplkind.com.

September 18, 2013 at 8:42 pmIt’s pretty amazing. I should have also noted that you can purchase the children’s artwork on the View Finder website.

September 18, 2013 at 12:34 pmI’ve always said when my son is old enough to function a camera properly, I’m giving him a disposable camera and letting him take pictures of whatever he sees. I love the concept.

September 18, 2013 at 9:01 pmThat’s a great idea. It’s always fun to see what they want to take photos of. It’s never what you think!

September 18, 2013 at 9:11 pmThis one seemed like a no brainer. The kids’ photos were so good and so were Babita’s (the director of View Finder).

September 18, 2013 at 1:06 pmI love to see what kids capture with photography! Usually its a very different perspective from the photo we as adults take!

September 18, 2013 at 9:16 pmExactly, Michelle. I’m always amused when I see what my kids want to take photos or video of.

September 18, 2013 at 2:59 pmI love pictures from the point of view of the kids…I have a few that Bug took once and now the kiddos are always taking pictures with my phone since many of the apps they play with have picture options…Love this shot by the way!!

Tamara says
September 18, 2013 at 4:27 pmI love giving my (old) camera to my daughter. She sees things I don’t see. And I see a lot, as a photographer! We just all see things differently, and I love that.

September 18, 2013 at 9:30 pmSo true. It’s interesting when you give kids (and adults) cameras and watch what they are drawn to.
Joi @ Rx Fitness Lady says
September 18, 2013 at 5:13 pmI love this concept. I think giving children a hobby of any kind is good in accomplishing these goals. This hobby can prove financially beneficial for them in the long run. Great program as always I discover here!

September 18, 2013 at 9:35 pmSo true, Joi. What these kids are learning now can really help them in the future. Babita, the director of View Finder, told me that those kids are actually servants in Haiti. Putting a camera in their hands was an amazing experience.
Carla says
September 18, 2013 at 8:29 pmI’ve never heard of that organization but it sounds wonderful! Anything that helps a child discover themselves and builds self confidence is wonderful.

September 18, 2013 at 10:27 pmAh… I just love this perspective!! SO cool. And what an incredible program to use photography to inspire children. I love how the arts can be such a powerful tool in doing that!

September 19, 2013 at 8:19 amThe arts are so powerful. These kids really need (and deserve!) the chance to show their own unique perspective to the world.
