...but not in a land far, far away, I taught photography for the Continuing Education Department at Furman and for three years as an adjunct professor at North Greenville College. One of the overriding principals I tried to instill in my students was the understanding of perspective between the subject and photographer. In short, in the evening classes I saw plenty of photos of chidlren playing and sandboxes and such, but always from above. "The key with children," I always said, "is not to photograph looking down on them unless that's your intent."

It was more difficult in the days of film, but with the advent of digital photography, playing with angles is not only easier, it's cheaper.  I kid folks by saying that my best photographs are taken when my eye is not on the viewfinder. But as you can see from the photo of the flower girl getting ready right before Janet & Greg's wedding, maybe it's not a joke after all.
