Baby's First Exhibit: 3-year-old Earns Solo Photography Show
Thursday March 25, 2010 |
 Depending upon how you approach it, this could be really great or really annoying. Photographer Ruby Ellenby currently has her first solo show up now in San Francisco. No small feat for a 3-year old. The exhibition of her work includes 22 photos, most taken in San Francisco's Dogpatch and Mission Bay neighborhoods near her home. She used three cameras: Her own VTech kids' camera, a Nikon Coolpix, and Mom and Dad's iPhones.
The photos are from a kid's-eye view: a leaf on the street; a random letter on a sidewalk; from under the dinner table at Thanksgiving; bare branches overhead. It helps that both parents are photographers.
"One thing I learned from watching my daughter is you shoot what is close to you," said Peter Ellenby, who along with his wife specializes in music photography. "Ruby is close to the ground, so she shoots a lot of things at that level."
For Ruby, the show opening was pure fun, with balloons and sugar, friends and even her pink stuffed dog, Raisin, in tow.
"Taking pictures makes me feel like a princess," Ruby said, pausing briefly before making another happy circle around the room.
