after posting my homework assignment re: photo article, I was looking on the web and came across this article which I found interesting.  It says a 13 century church in Germany is leaning more than the Leaning Tower of Pisa.  Check out the pictures from National Geographic

about the childrens portrait

Today we took pictures of children.   As we all know, they can be unpredictable.  I had a tennis set up and he did not want to pretend.  He wanted to really play!!  Unfortunately, we could not really play tennis around the lights.  That would not have turned out pretty, at all.  With the help of everyone there we got him laughing.  I believe I got some good shots, if not his sister was a great sport and posed for the camera as my backup
