Starting up with photography

My Daughter is a very bright Dyslexic 7 year old.
She is home schooled now as the schools could not offer the help she needed and she had fallen very far behind .Now only a month later she is doing wonders!
She loves taking pictures so her grandma kindly bought her a camera and then she came to life.
Photography has shown her she is really good at things and how great it feels when she sees her great pictures.She soon learnt what she could do with the camera and the there was no stopping her.
So this lens is for my daughter Miryshka and all the great picture she has taken so far!

It is also proof that just because you are dyslexic it does not mean you cant to great things !

The First day with her new camera

Good start

Trying out new things

With this set of pics Miryshka was just trying random things to see how they would look

Dyslexia in Miryshkas own words

The week after I took Miryshka out of school just after breakfast one morning she grabbed her pencil and paper and started asking me how to spell different words. So I told her all the spelling then she showed me this.
I was so impressed and so was everyone who read it, its amazing how a young mind can explain something so complex in such a simple way .
I say well done that girl !

    Well as someone who specialised in this area, I am so impressed and it is wonderful to see Miryshka doing fantastically well, I hope you will aske her to let us know how she is doing!
    I have a story about a boy who could not read or write, he was my student and was 14 yrs old! YES really.
    But that boy with the help of some of his teacher did indeed go onto be a great reader and writer even with his dyslexia, and the best part is he also helped in my classroom with the younger children, and I am sure you are going to be very smart too, I can tell by the pictures! consider yourself Blessed by a Squid Angel - and remember to let us know how you are doing

WhitePineLane says:

I especially love Miryshka's nature photography! That's where I really see her "eye" for photography! Well done!

Davinius says:

As Miryshka's step dad I am very proud of her in her photography, she has a keener eye than some of the art students I went to college with and she is very talented.

PaulOnBooks says:

She has a very good eye for a photo opportunity.

They are nice pictures but I dont really see anything special
