Baby Katie Rockwell

Born 2:45:10 PM PDT, 28 May 2008, La Jolla, California.

8 pounds, 10.3 ounces (3,920g). 19-1/2" (50 cm).

The technical gobbledygook after each shot is the equipment I used for each photo. Many photographer friends ask.

Four-year-old Katie got me again yesterday.

She insisted I sit down and do arts and crafts with her.

She had me take a piece of white paper out of mom's printer, sit down at her art table, and start to do arts and crafts.

I sat staring at the blank sheet, and asked her what I was supposed to draw.

"It's arts and crafts. Draw whatever you want!"

Duh!

It's all about filling a blank canvas with whatever hits our imagination; whatever's fun. It's never about having a theme or a required subject; it's all about drawing whatever we want to.

It's exactly the same in photography. The best work comes from keeping an open mind and seeing what pops into it.
