in a land not so far, far away there lived a gal with a Nikon camera. She loved to take photographs. She snapped pictures of flowers and sunsets, and they came out fine. But, when a kid would pass in front of her lens, the camera just sang. La dee dah! The pictures came alive like never before! So she passed on the sunsets and flowers for a bit and put her focus on children. The camera kept singing. La dee dah!

She invited kids of all lands - “Come as you are” she said. No fancy outfits or snazzy hair-doos. She even promised not to make them say "cheese!" Kids of all shapes and sizes came. Each little person had their own special story to tell (once their folks left the room of course). The gal and the camera and the kids met up at playgrounds, beaches, even sandboxes in their own backyards. The kids felt like stars.They discovered that your hair doesn't need to be perfect when you’re sitting for a picture. And who said you have to sit, anyway? "Roam if you want to!" the gal said with a laugh. And so they did. Their portraits struck a chord with people. They were never the pictures you quite expected, but they sure did make you smile. Best of all, they didn’t make you look like everyone else. They made you look like, well...you!

Well, that gal is still snapping the pictures with her Nikon camera in the land not so far away. The kids are riding scooters and blowing bubbles with their not-so-perfect hair and their not-so-shiny shoes and the photographs are telling their one- of-a-kind, there’s-nobody-just like-me stories. And that camera is still singing. La dee dah!
