"A venturesome minority will always be eager to set off on their own, and no obstacles should be placed in their path; let them take risks, for godsake, let them get lost, sunburnt, stranded, drowned, eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches - that is the right and privilege of any free American." ~ Edward Abbey

"A CHILD WITH A CAMERA"

Give a child a camera...Go do it now. What happens? Well, I can tell you this you will probably get lots of blurry shots, photos of  birds and puppies, and other stuff...HOWEVER, you will also find that hidden in those shots are some things that will make you think. Shots that will make you think about your photography. These shots have been on the computer for probably a year. I was cruising through the files the other night and I stopped. I stopped in my tracks. I didn't even understand what I was looking at. Then it dawned on me; these were my daughters photos from the Kennedy Space Center; a field trip she had taken a while ago. I understand that she probably didn't think to herself..."WOW what a great shot", but alas does it matter? How different were her thoughts than mine when she captured these images. I will leave it at that. I pray that her little mind will take her to places she never dreamed. Her imagination is surely as big as the rockets she photographed that day. Buy a child a camera, and if they break it, buy em another. Do it now.
