I once read a quote from Fred Rogers, ( yes that Mr. Rogers ), about a song he was working on. It was title “There is a child in me still….and not so still.” As photographers we constantly attempt to show the world around us as we see it. How much of what we see is seen with a prejudiced eye? When we attempt to photograph a person, scene or object, we interpret it and attempt to match the preconceived notion in our head. Most of us are adults and see the world as an adult would see it. My challenge is to see the world as a four year old might see it. I learned this idea from Mr. Rogers.
You look but do not see, you listen but do not hear.
Listen to the child within, see as a four year old would see. You might just see a different world.
Thank You Mr. Rogers

Hello and Welcome.
This is the obligatory first post where I talk about the aims of this blog. This blog will be adventure in thought as well as point to interesting places on the web. While mostly concerned with photography, this blog may wander off topic every now and then.
