Me oh my........Eric, take a look at my PAW if you wish to find a cohort in
'LUG photo crimes'....my posts are all images of my 18 year old daughter. I
shoot one of her daily...have been since August and will continue until I
drop her off at college next summer.

Children are not an inappropriate subject matter for LUG posting.

The work you are doing with your daughter is very important...for one, it
records her growth and for another, it will be an amazing record of yours as
a growing, learning photographer.

Poo poo the nay-sayers and keep on posting whatever you like.......I'm
behind you 100%
Lea
