Here's an easy, inexpensive, and fun way to get your kids interested in digital photography.

My father got me interested in photography when I was about 5 years old and I never lost interest. The hobby has provided me with countless hours of fun and satisfaction, and, by using my skills I've even managed to pick up a few bucks along the way.

In an era of mega-buck kid's toys here's a modestly priced, robust product designed to be used by even the youngest of kids.

The Fisher-Price digital camera is a way to introduce your child to photography without the fear of having your own camera damaged.

I think it's a good idea to steer a child in the direction of the creative arts at an early age, and digital photography is a safe and easy way to stimulate a kid's imagination. It's also an activity parents can share with their kids by previewing their snapshots on the computer and deciding what went right or wrong and which ones are worthy of printing.

My father took that picture of me in, I think, 1951. He got into trouble with my mother because my hat wasn't on correctly and revealed my unkempt hair.
