Why I love being a yearbook photographer

There is cool stuff

happening at school

all the time.

When something sounds like too much fun to miss

I just have to be there.

You know.

To take pictures for the yearbook.

I get by with a little help...

...from my friends.

So I'm at the zoo taking fog photos.  All was not quite as serene as it appears in the photos.  There were school groups everywhere.  I'm shooting some dead plants (let's call them "dormant" to make it sound like a better thing to do), when I hear "Will you take a picture of US?"  I turned to see if they were talking to me, and sure enough they were.  I said sure, got your camera?  The kid says, "No, I mean with THAT camera."  At this point he is almost regretting that he ever opened his mouth.  So I take their picture, and ask for an email address.  Of course neither of us had a pen.  But I did remember it.

Does this not make you smile?  

For more smile-inducing shots, go visit the awesome Mr. Z.  He's got some wise words from a teacher's perspective today too.
