3-year-old's photo exhibition is a snap (SF Chronicle)
This is so inspiring... I read this article a few days ago and thought it was worth sharing.
Julian Guthrie, Chronicle Staff Writer, Photo by Peter Ellenby.
Ruby Ellenby had her red party dress on to celebrate her first photography
exhibition. A few minutes into the opening, she dipped into the party
favors. Cupcake in her hand, her mouth was ringed by pink frosting.
Ruby is 3 years 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.
"It began," says her mom, Jeanne Ellenby, the day Ruby said, "Mommy, can I see your camera?"
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."
On the walls of Moshi Moshi restaurant, 8-by-10 prints were mounted with a
white border on foam core. The restaurant was the natural place for the
show, the Ellenbys said, as it's where they had their first date, where
they went when they found out Jeanne was pregnant and where they've been
taking Ruby since she was a newborn.
For Ruby, the show 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.
In addition to knowing how to unlock the iPhone, find the camera icon and
begin taking pictures, she has learned how to use two iPhone applications,
including ToyCamera and CameraBag, but prefers CameraBag because she can
change the colors in the photos.
"We celebrate anything creative, no matter how trivial," said Peter
Ellenby.
Gillian Ellenby, Ruby's grandmother, insisted she was objective when
looking at the works.
"I'm impressed," she said. "I had thought the photos would be really
random. But she has an eye. Her photos are really good. I especially love
the picture she took of her red sparkly shoes, her 'Ruby slippers.' "
Jeanne Ellenby laughed and confided that her daughter possesses something
of the artist's temperament.
"I'll ask her, 'Ruby, do you want to go out and take photos?' And she'll
say no, she's not in the mood."
The opening night reception, held March 13, ended promptly at 6:30 p.m.
The photographer's bedtime is 7:30.

Giclée Prints...
After reading and browsing a decorating magazine I pondered an Ethan Allen ad for a while that used a Giclée print to help coordinate the new furniture within the design of the room. I’ve included a picture of the Giclée print that was featured in the Ethan Allen ad.So what is a Giclée print…
The Definition : Giclee (zhee-klay) - The French word "giclée" is a feminine noun that means a spray or a spurt of liquid. The word may have been derived from the French verb "gicler" meaning "to squirt".
The Term : The term "giclee print" connotes an elevation in printmaking technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction.
The Process : Giclee prints are created typically using professional 8-Color to 12-Color ink-jet printers. These modern technology printers are capable of producing incredibly detailed prints for both the fine art and photographic markets. Giclee prints are sometimes mistakenly referred to as Iris prints, which are 4-Color ink-jet prints from a printer pioneered in the late 1970s by Iris Graphics.
So my plan is to utilize my love of photography and interior design to create a Giclée print with one of my photography prints. I will post pictures when I’ve completed this new project.
