DEFORE you snap a picture, do D you have in your mind Q clear idea of what you want the picture to "say"?
 This is important, because every picture needs a central picture idea" to give it life and meaning. Especially, every picture with per- sons in it needs some sort of action tor activity to give it interest.
 By faction" I don't mean rapid motion, but merely that the person pictured should be doing something.
 For example, suppose you have a small daughter, and every now and then you want a new picture of her. We'll, don't just get her to stand in corner of the backyard, and look at the camera while you snap. Relate the picture to her personal life, her daily activities. Look at these ideas:
