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.

This is different.
Glad you shared. 🙂
Happy WW!
It is different. I really like this one. Happy WW to you!
What an interesting concept that through photography these kids can improve themselves. Thanks for sharing!
It’s a great program. The article on pplkind has more info.
Wow. Different. And poignant.
It’s fun to see what kids choose to take a picture of, isn’t it?
Love this concept and seeing it in effect.-Ashley
It’s pretty amazing. I should have also noted that you can purchase the children’s artwork on the View Finder website.
kids have such a different mind 🙂
They sure do!
good program!
I agree, Pearl!
I’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.
That’s a great idea. It’s always fun to see what they want to take photos of. It’s never what you think!
There is something extraordinarily sweet about that and I love that you’re using your wordless Wednesday to promote social good!
This one seemed like a no brainer. The kids’ photos were so good and so were Babita’s (the director of View Finder).
I love to see what kids capture with photography! Usually its a very different perspective from the photo we as adults take!
Exactly, Michelle. I’m always amused when I see what my kids want to take photos or video of.
I 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!!
My kids especially love taking video. Their shots make me very dizzy!
I love handing my camera to my kids for this precise reason.
It’s always an eye-opening experience, isn’t it?
I 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.
So true. It’s interesting when you give kids (and adults) cameras and watch what they are drawn to.
I 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!
So 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.
I’ve never heard of that organization but it sounds wonderful! Anything that helps a child discover themselves and builds self confidence is wonderful.
Absolutely, Carla!
Ah… 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!
The arts are so powerful. These kids really need (and deserve!) the chance to show their own unique perspective to the world.
