After my Photoshop class yesterday afternoon, I scooted around Detroit's cultural center taking photos. Many things caught my eye: art students sitting on the lawn in front of the College for Creative Studies where I take my class, the round sculpture in front of the Science Center with its framed views of the world around me, a brick wall beside the Scarab Club with flowering fruit trees behind it reaching high into the blue blue skies overhead. But the photo catch of the day came when I scooted around the corner of Woodward Avenue to the entrance of the Detroit Institute of Arts. There I saw a wedding party with 30 bridesmaids and groomsmen all dressed in white who were posing for their wedding photos! I soon fell head over heels in love with the youngest flower girl, the one they called "Princess."

This composite portrait celebrates the dreams she will have in her life. May they all come true.
