Last weekend, a carnival came to my neighborhood. Hoping to take some interesting photos, I grabbed my camera and tripod and headed into the almost-chilly night.
As I framed shots and snapped through two rolls of film, I noticed something: Almost every time I turned around, someone was standing behind me or waving me toward them.
"So, are you going to take my picture?" wondered the man in the shooting gallery booth.
"How about taking a shot of me?" asked the man working the kiddie airplane ride.
"Want a picture of us?" said a couple of ladies, standing in front of a wall of stuffed animal prizes.
At first, I wasn't sure why everyone was so eager to be photographed. But as I put my equipment back into my car and headed home, I thought about why we take photos and keep photo albums.

Emily Chapman
A Heart for Adoption
by Camerin Courtney
Long after Emily Chapman traveled to Haiti with her junior high youth group, she couldn't forget the poverty and despair she'd seen there.
Seeing the children and the awful conditions they lived in really tugged at her heart. Although Emily knew she couldn't help each kid she'd seen, she wondered if there might be a way to help just one needy child.
"I've always thought adoption was cool, but on that trip I suddenly thought, Why not our family?" says Emily, now 18 and a freshman at Baylor University in Texas.
