Another has specialized in faces of cows and produced a collection ot cow portraits wonderful to behold. It is surprising how much amusing variety there is in the expressions ot cows, especially those taken when the cow is alarmed. AU who see this collection laugh. “Innocuous Desuetude” is the subject of another collection, being “off-guard” snapshots of human beings in all sorts of attitudes of repose, and chuck-full of human interest—bench warmers in the park, tramps, dozing fishermen, water-front loafers, and gossipers on the steps of the country store. Still another, a circus fan, specializes on circus pictures, inside of the big tent and out. No one can see his snapshot collection of sideshow freaks, clowns, barkers, elephants and gaping spectators without immediately yearning for peanuts and pink lemonade. Picture hobbies of others are fires, lightning, waterfalls, yachts, railroad locomotives, and so forth. Pick your subject and try it. There’s a world of fun and adventure in it, and a great chance to use your artistic talent in the photography. JOHN VAN GUILDER
