About: A Child's View From Behind the Lens
According to the article "Photos by a Four Year Old" by Mike Rowehl which was posted last December 23, 2004 at www.bitsplitter.net, the author was taking a picture of the Christmas tree at his parent's place when his four year old niece spotted him and wanted to take pictures too. So, he released her unsupervised for about half an hour just to see what was on his phone when she came back.Personally, when I first saw the pictures, I was a bit surprised. Are those pictures really taken by a four year old girl? I agree with what Mike has felt initially upon seeing the images for the first time. I also asked myself if his niece actually knew what she was doing. As a young one, I didn't expect that she actually knew what to capture and the plus thing was ? there was creativity in the way she took her images.The picture that I love most from among the three is the picture of her reflection in an ornament on the Christmas tree.
I was curious about what came out of her mind and had this idea as a good subject. It's truly creative, in a way, even if the photo is not that perfectly taken. With this picture, I also agree with Mike that his niece definitely understands what she's doing. What she did was to go out of her way and find subjects that didn't only look interesting but pointed to an understanding that she was creating something. Quite impressive, right?Indeed, if the joy of sharing photos online is all about capturing the random everyday events in our lives, then even a photo taken by a four year old or even younger must be pure gold.
After all, this young, creative mind has her own definition and interpretation of art that only she can comprehend..

Oh, no! Christmas, Hanukah, and New Year's Eve are coming, and you're still not dating anybody.The specter of enduring gatherings with relatives who harass you because you've failed to hook up trounces your hopes for peace and goodwill. You'll be explaining your sorry self from the first sip of eggnog to your last bite of mincemeat pie.Afterwards, you'll tuck into bed feeling like a colossal loser, remembering how Cousin Patty flashed her newly installed engagement ring (roughly the size of an aircraft carrier) all through dinner. And then, as you console yourself that this was just one night out of your life, that surely you can rise above the pitying looks and comments, it dawns on you that you'll be subjected to them again on New Year's Eve!You find yourself with two choices: (A) Attend a party teeming with self-satisfied couples, hoping to God that some gorgeous single specimen of the opposite sex will infiltrate and rescue you from your glass of warm champagne. (B) Accept Mom and...

Rochester, NY, Woman Designs Educational Greeting Card for Quilters
Quilt Gift Card designer and writer Sue Carmichael says calmly, "I needed one and there wasn't anything like it on the market," when asked how she came up with the idea for her line of greeting cards made especially for quilters to include with a gift quilt.
Each of the six different card styles; wedding, baby, birthday, graduation, Christmas and a blank one has "The Anatomy of a Quilt"? printed on the inside cover which gives a synopsis of the quilt making process, defines some of the terms quilters use and gives the care instructions.
Each card can be personalized on the front with a piece of fabric from the gift quilt or with a picture of the quilt itself.
Sue explains, "My passion is quilting and I want the quilts I make to be used, not piled in a dark cupboard so the sun can't fade them.
I certainly don't need another quilt for myself, so I give them away as gifts.
I realized I wasn't telling the recipients how to care for the present...

?Christmas For One: Mental Health Over the Holidays"
My dear friend, poet Dessa Byrd Reed, often spends holidays alone as a widow.
However, she doesn't see this, as many people often do, as a depressing circumstance.
In a November 2000 POETIC VOICES interview, she said, "Because I am single and live alone, I eat out a lot. I love to talk to strangers. That's one of my favorite things.
I go out for breakfast and talk to people."Another talented writer, Leslie Lafayette, dealt with being a childless woman by choice in WHY DON'T YOU HAVE KIDS?: Living a Full Life Without Parenthood.
You can bet that because of her choice many people would pity her.
She writes the "Alone Again, Naturally" column for the outstanding magazine THE DESERT WOMAN.
Observers might conclude she's miserable on the holidays.Both Leslie and Dessa have full lives and radiate Christmas cheer, not just in December but all year round.
While we all need human contact, it's a mistake to conclude that people without...
