How To Make A Little Girl Cry



I was covering a Family Fun Carvinal hosted by the Indiana Free Library when I decided to sit-in during storytelling. The man was telling a group of children the fable about a lion that was eating his food by a river and saw another lion eating. The greedy lion wanted the other lion's food so he attacked the other lion! The "other" lion was his own reflection, so when he attacked the lion, he drowned. The storyteller kept shouting "HE DROWNED!! THE LION DROWNED IN THE RIVER!!" to the point that it deeply upset the little girl and she completely lost it. Lesson learned!

Thank You Veterans



Back in November, I was given an assignment to photograph a group of Boy Scouts who were collecting items for a care package that was to be mailed for troops overseas. I happened to look down and saw this little boy working on his card. I didn't submit it for publication, but thought it still needed to be seen. Regardless of your opinion on the war, or any wars for that matter, there is still something so discomforting about this image. Maybe it's his tiny hands holding the iconic red Crayola crayon-such strong symbols of childhood innocence-are the same hands that drew a smile on the shooter's face.
