 Good stuff. nspired me to order an In a tax wide

Fantastic shots, Peter - thanks for posting the link.  Let's hope that the kid is encouraged to develop (no pun intended) his talent.

Good point about the kid having greater access, because of his age and perceived innocence.

I always find it funny when I see a picture of a young kid with a big huge Instax :)

As for the ease of access to people, I do agree that his young age probably helps a lot. Besides, at that age I doubt many will refuse to have their photo taken by him... and the ones who refuse probably won't give him crap for asking.

Almost makes ya' think conspiracy theory, huh? "Here, son, take this camera, it'll be fun!! Oh, and by the way, don't you REALLY want to take a picture of that girl in a bikini over there? Go on, ask her!"  ;D
