"It is not what I see outside that makes my images, it is what I feel on the inside that comes out." - 365 Project, Day 319

At what age is it most acceptable to be taking pictures?  This is a simple and somewhat silly question, but I'm curious about it.  Here's an example.  You're at a family party with three or four generations there.  Say you have your 3-year-old niece with her iPod Touch, or her dad's iPhone, and you have your 25-year old cousin with this compact point-and-shoot, and then there's your 90-year-old grandfather with this own point-and-shoot, and their all taking pictures.  Who seems the most out-of-place, and who seems the least out-of-place?

These are simple questions, but for whom is it more normal to take photographs of everyday life?

Here are our entries into everyday life.

Frank

His note: Wanted to keep a record of how much snow fell on my balcony...still some left to fall so will see tomorrow morning how much more there will be.

Shannon

Her note: It only got worse from here.

Me

I was playing around with the super macro function again, and thought this would make a nice shot.  I like the amount of the detail this shot should have had, but it was very dark and I had to push it as much as Lightroom 4 beta would allow me.  Having said that, today had really interesting weather: hail, snow, wet snow, freezing rain, rain, nothing, light snow, tons of wind, drop in temperature.  This was only the beginning, as the other pictures show.

Tomorrow should not have any falling show, but instead will compensate that lack of precipitation by being intensely cold.

PS.  Today was Friday the 13th.  There are 3 Friday the 13ths this year, and they're all separated by 13 weeks.  Thought you should know.
