I think some days I surrender, and some days I fight, but no matter which way I approach things, the "big messy imperfect pile" is still there at the center of everything. And getting okay with that is an ongoing challenge. When you have a spare moment (ha!) check out this issue of Purpose, an online photography magazine from France - it's all about childhood, and includes some charming and beautiful pictures of "the pile" : ) http://www.purpose.fr/purpose8.html Thank you for this.
