Barbie

I thought my daughter outgrew her love for Barbie until I heard her one time singing in the dining room while I was in the kitchen.



Back in 2006 (I think.), our our former neighbor gifted her with a Barbie camera. At that time, she was not interested with it at all. So I just kept it in the storage at our basement.

After learning that she still watches and always looking forward to new episodes of Barbie Life in the Dream House on YouTube, I showed her the camera again and look how happy she was.


The mister loaded it with one of his stashes of rolls of film that are kept in our freezer. Don't ask me why but there are boxes of them with our frozen food.

The young lady brought her "new camera" when we went with the mister to Washington DC for their show at  Fort Reno last summer. (Read it here.)

These are the shots she took from her Barbie camera.

I remember one time, I asked one of my cousins to share photos of her travels and she said, "When I get a new DSLR camera". I think, it wouldn't matter what camera you use -- whether it's a toy Barbie camera or a Leica M9 Titanium. It is not the tools but the skill you use to make the end product.

"It's not the arrow. It's the Indian."

That's all for now.
