Let each shot explain some step -that method makes sense to your young model. VOUNGSTERS' hobbies make ex- cellent snapshot material -and almost any boy or girl will take to the idea of hobby pictures, IF you offer a good story idea. That story idea is important, be- cause kids have realistic minds - they insist that a picture mean something. A snapshot just for the sake of snapping doesn't interest them -they want the picture to have a good, clear point. However, that's actually simpler than it may sound -for the hobby itself offers an outline for your pic- ture sequence. Consider stamp -col- lecting, for example. You'll want a. shot of the boy at the mail -box, or meeting the postman, to receive a packet of new stamps. You'll want to show him as he spreads out the treasures and examines them. Then, too, a shot as he makes water -.mark teat on one. And, •,o3 ctnirtde, ether shots as they're klageti into the stamp album, each at the eerie* obta. "it you tab. go tors together, sell them the idea of a "swapping session." You'll get good action, and good expressions. Let one make an offer; the other reject it contempuously with "Aw, I got a mill-yun of those!" Picture another offer, the aceeptance, the removal of the stamp from the al- bum -and, finally, the rueful young- ster as he surveys the empty spot on the page. This is a method that will work . ' for practically all children, and practically all hobbiee. And, the pic- tures are successful because each tells a story. Whatever your boy or giri does -model -making, 'drawing, doll-dreeses, toytailway operations, ofiections of bugs, butterflies, stones, arrowheads, Marilee or what -have -you -there's it gold mine tor good snapshots.'
