Disneyland Through the Eyes of a Child: Photographs by Luke

We encouraged Luke to take photos using his own camera when we were in Disneyland. I wanted to see how it was like to view things through the eyes of a 2 and a half year old; I wanted to see what he wanted to capture, how it looked like from his point of view and all the interesting things in between.

To make this entry more interesting, I asked Luke one by one about the photos and I’m using the commentary as captions. Haha. Enjoy!

About his gear: Papershoot Camera

The photographs he took were all taken using his Papershoot Camera. It is a digital camera made out of stone paper. It’s super light and very easy to use: you just press the button in front to shoot and there you have it! It’s like a digital lomo cam in the sense that you have no idea how it’s gonna turn out until you check the files out on your computer.

Luke got the Vintage 1925 design which costs P3995 in retail.

There are different settings at the back where you can choose the filter. It’s battery operated and you just need to put in triple A batteries. SUPER EASY and convenient for Luke! Even if he drops it or bumps it around (lol, look at the scratches,) it’s still okay as ever! It’s a great first camera for kids.

Now on to his photos!
