The state of California, or as our cool imaginary character, Snappy the Squirrel, likes to call it, "The Super-duper Snazz-tastic Snapshot Haven," is a veritable paradise for young photography enthusiasts. From the towering, ancient Redwoods up north to the sun-soaked beaches in the south, from the glitzy Hollywood boulevards to the rugged desert beauty of Death Valley, California is nothing less than a visual smorgasbord. Snappy the Squirrel is a charming, zany character with a bushy tail, a snazzy camera, and an unquenchable passion for photography. He darts around the state, capturing the beauty of California within his tiny, acorn-shaped camera. He’s a bit forgetful, always misplacing his camera and running around in circles trying to find it, almost tripping over his own bushy tail! The kids who partake in the photography activity in California are just as vibrant and eclectic as the state itself. They're a motley crew of shutterbugs, each with a unique vision and a shared love for capturing the world in freeze-frame. As Snappy likes to say, "They’re not just kids, they’re kiddo-kameramen and kamera-kiddettes!" These children tend to see everything as a potential masterpiece, whether it’s the glorious sunset at Santa Monica Pier, the street graffiti in Los Angeles, the stunning vistas of Yosemite, or even Snappy’s comic antics! Just like Snappy, these young photographers are always losing stuff too—the lens caps, the memory cards, even their own sneakers. But they never lose their excitement for creating beautiful images. As long as there's a picture to be captured, these kids (and Snappy!) will be there, cameras at the ready, turning moments into memories, one click at a time.
