i think we can all pretty much see where i am headed with doing children photos…meaning i will be doing more and more of them! i have never really been inspired by children photos and that could be the walmart/olan mills/sears effect.

the volume of good kid photos is just not out there…besides the snapshot picture being reclassified as art, so hopefully i will be able to make some contributions thats inspiring or at least have an impact on non-parents. i say non-parents because parents tend to see their child with rose colored glasses on and they immediately proclaim that the photograph is outstanding (i think they are really talking their kids and not the photo)! i have seen this with walmart style photography which we now know its not the standard for artistic beauty.

i am not there yet but i do have a vision in my head about the direction i want to go in and it has to be just right (to activate my creative side) or else i just can’t feel the photo, so bear with me while i fine tune the ‘j kids’ line
