On one of my first European business trips just out of college, I took a
roll of pictures to impress my wife with my worldly travels. When it was
developed, it was a series of some beautiful woman in front of the typical
tourists stops. Distant. Up Close. Sensuous. Gazing to the horizon. etc.


That's good photography.

I used to take dozens of pictures of airplanes at Oshkosh. In fact,
I've got 24 years of photo albums from OSH, and the first 8 are
nothing but airplanes, and (once in a while) Mary. Or Chuck
Yeager... ;-)

They are incredibly boring, and we haven't looked at them in years. I
eventually learned that pictures have to have people in them, or some
sort of perceived motion. A plane going past with afterburner flames
is good, people or not. But a plane parked alone on the ramp, unless
the lighting is perfect or unique, isn't.

Unless you plant your kids in front of it. Then it becomes part of
the family, and a worthy picture -- even if they're not smiling.

I noticed you didn't include any photos of the "sights & attractions" at
Myrtle Beach on your webpages.

Heh! Well, um, I actually didn't take any pictures of that. I can't
drool and take pictures at the same time...

God almighty, all those spring break college girls prancing around
wearing (literally!) nothing was nearly fatal. Poor Joe (my 16-year-
old son) still has a sore neck from experiencing SBW* for two straight
days.

* = "Spring Break Whiplash"

:-)

Luckily, as an old married geezer, I have learned to move only my
eyes, behind dark sunglasses...

Is Joe the same son you were planning to take on a European tour? you
might want to ask him to relax a bit, there are places where he might
be a wee bit overwhelmed...

One and the same. He's slated to go to Spain with his Espanol class
next year, and he's already counting the weeks and days.

I'm sure he's already researched the location of every nude beach in
Europe...

Is he planning on participating, or just observing?

At 16 (well, 17 by then) I suspect he'll be hiding in the bushes, with
high-powered binoculars and a good digital camera...

That's not the way to do it. Tell him to act Nike.
