A few months back, I somehow got suckered into agreeing to speak at Career Day at an elementary school a couple towns north of here. So today was the day, and I had to get up way too early, go to school, and tell all the little ones about life as a professional photographer. I told them how I became one, how I ended up at my current job, and lots of other stuff that went in one ear and right out the other. But the photos and magazines I brought kept their attention, and of course, so did the big cameras. To show them how I use the telephoto and wide lenses, I took a photo of the furthest thing I could, and also the closest… the face of the nearest student. After eight groups of kids had rotated through over three hours (yes, I had to repeat the same talk eight times for three hours), I discovered I had a pretty cute collection of freckles.
