Malia Obama - Official White House Photographer
Filed under: Celeb Kids, In The News
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.
