Santa Barbara, CA—April 20, 2011—While some photographers still have doubts about transitioning from film to digital cameras, unbiased children have easily found their way into the digital world. Children are excited by the instant gratification of capturing an image and immediately seeing the result.
With today's digital cameras, what used to be an expensive and disappointing process is now as easy as pie.
