Staying Cool
My wife and I were relaxing
with our 41/2-year-old grandson one hot mid-July afternoon last summer
in Wisconsin. With the air temperature right around 95ÞF, there
were not many ways of staying cool, except to sit in the shade of the
big umbrella and sip tall glasses of ice water…that is until someone
got the idea to turn on the garden hose. Our young man in the picture
seems to be saying, “Look what I’ve got.” The rest
is history!

The premise of Talking Pictures is that all of us have images that carry
an internal narrative that we rarely get to share. This entails more than
just camera, exposure, and film. It might include what provoked us to snap
the shutter or how, in retrospect, the image makes us feel.
We invite you to submit images and words for this department. Please send
only one image and brief text with each submission. Because we will print
the pictures large please make sure that the image can take the blowup.
For this department we will accept only high-quality prints (5x7 or 8x10)
and slides—no digital files, please. We will not be able to return
the images to you because of the volume we anticipate receiving. And by
sending us the image you grant us permission to print it in the magazine
and on our web site. We also may hold publication for some time.
So come on, get published and share your ideas and inspiration. Send submissions
to:
Talking Pictures, Shutterbug,
5211 S. Washington Ave.,
Titusville, FL 32780.
