Fine Automobiles (persuasive)
<view this essay>.... The sun, for example, is one that ancient man was attracted to, and then eventually worshipped. The same principle applies to today's man only in a different paradigm: we are still attracted to objects which visually arrest our attention, yet after the millions of years of evolution and development we have cluttered our picture. Now there are so many objects in view and situations on the average individual's mind that they may not think much of what the cavemen of the past thought about, such as the sun.

Photojournalists Are Necessary
<view this essay>.... of committing terrible crimes, so, all you critics, all I have to say is "FACE IT"! Why hide the real world?
