I love this Pablo Picasso quote. It makes me wonder what makes a child a good artist. I think part of it is the time they take to notice things. They are nearer the ground. They see the details of life around them. Noticing lady birds on leaves, ants carrying a load on their backs, shells on the sea shore. I know some grown up children who are good at that too. I love being with them.
I love it when you spend time with children and get to see some of the world through their eyes. The eyes of discovery and wonder and simple joy. I travelled around New Zealand's south island with two children once, in a van. They helped me see things, to stop and notice. They are beautiful artists. I hope that photography takes me back to being a child like artist. I hope that taking photographs takes me back to that place of wonder.
