The act of making a picture validates our experiences, construct memory, and in turn, our rituals, beliefs, values, and attitudes toward the things we value and cherish in life.
At home, digital cameras range from camera phones, point and shoot, and DSLR. There are no expectations that the children should pick any of them up and make pictures, but it is just like having a piano in the living room. If cameras become part of a child's day to day experience, the act of picture making seems normal, even if it means photographing his breakfast. The point here is that photographic rituals are embedded in routine. Making pictures inhabit us.
