Take Your Holga to Work Day!!

Take your Holga to Work Day . . . is that a thing? It should be.

Obviously as a photographer I do take my Holga to work.

Since I like getting paid to spend time with my kid, for a few hours every week I have another job. I am a certified Parent Child Mother Goose teacher. What is that? From the site: "The Parent-Child Mother Goose Program® is a group experience for parents and their babies and young children which focuses on the pleasure and power of using rhymes, songs, and stories together. Parents gain skills and confidence which can enable them to create positive family patterns during their children's crucial early years, and give their children healthy early experiences with language and communication."

So basically it means I get paid to teach songs and rhymes to kids and their parents and I get to do this with my own kid on my hip. It is the best job in the world (next to being a child/family photographer!!).

One recent day I took my Holga to work. A small room with nary a window in sight. Flash it up.

Let me sing you through these photos:

♪♫ Look at all the bunnies sleeping
'Till it's nearly noon
Come and let us gently wake them
With our merry tune
Oh so still
Are they Ill?



Noooooo!
Hop little bunnies
Hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies
Never stop ♪ ♫



Listening intently:



♪ ♫ Here is a beehive
but where are the bees
hidden away here nobody sees
see them come creping out of their hive
1, 2, 3, 4, 5! ♪ ♫



♪ ♫ Shoofly, don't bother me
Shoofly, Don't bother me
Shoofly, Don't bother me
I belong to somebody
I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star
I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star
I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star
Shoofly, don't bother me
'Cause I belong to somebody! ♪ ♫



Since I've done it once I just might do it again. ;)
