I was out one day with my camera; it was early in the afternoon on October 31. The child in the photo was riding a bicycle with this paper bag on her/his head. I stopped the car and asked if I could take a photo. The child agreed. The thing about this photo that intrigued me is the creativity. To this day I do not know whether the child was a girl or boy; I suspect she/he was proud to be a subject for my camera. Of course, my daughter, who was with me, thought I had lost my mind. This is what Henry James called "the madness of art." It's contagious. Copyright 2007 Dell Belew
