cute story of a fellow photographer

A cute story from parentdish. Makes me smile particularly because Leanna is aware of the president's daughters. In school they talk about the president and his children, especially because Sasha is 7, just like Leanna and her class. They did watch the inauguration and are finishing letters to the president today in school.

Malia Obama - Official White House Photographer

Of all the moving and historic moments during yesterday's inaugural celebration for President Barack Obama, perhaps the most charming of all was watching 11-year-old Malia Obama take what appeared to be a digital movie of her dad, using her little purple camera.The First Shutterbug was spotted at pre-inaugural events with several different point-and-shoot cameras, including Monday night's Kids' Inaugural Concert, where she snapped photos of the Jonas Brothers. Apparently, Malia also handed a little silver model off to Vice President Joseph Biden, perhaps because he had a better view of the popular teen heartthrobs. Her camera of choice for the big day, however, was a grape-colored Kodak EasyShare M893.There was something so touching -- and very real -- about watching this little girl take photographs of her father as he was sworn in as the nation's 44th president, and it's first African-American leader. While there are reams and reams of news footage of the event, Malia captured a perspective of the event unique to her -- that of a proud daughter.I can't help but wonder what she'll do with all her digital memories. Flickr account, as The New York Times suggested? MySpace or Facebook profile? Will she start her own blog? I can't imagine the Secret Service would be down with a virtual window into the White House.At the very least, that little girl is going to have one heck of a scrapbook.
