Photography is only worthwhile because it gives us excitement, passion, and enthusiasm about the world.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Once we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve lost a sense of wonderment and awe in our photography and life, what is there left to strive towards?<\/p>\n

My niece Amelia always says, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Wow\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d when she sees something new.<\/p>\n

What if we said the same?<\/p>\n

As an assignment, walk around an entire day like you were a child. Point at everything and say \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Wow!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And take a photograph of it.<\/p>\n

This will help you find more appreciation in the small things in life. They might not be the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s best photos\u00e2\u20ac\u201d but children take photos to follow their curiosity, not to make great \u00e2\u20ac\u0153art\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, that will one day be exhibited in a gallery.<\/p>\n

Keep to your child\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mind, or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153beginner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mind.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
