Current interpretations of childhood has the ability to
strategically plan a twelve year period, immersing innocence in a harsh light of influential

three and a half year old niece to run riot with my camera phone-in the hope
that I can catch glimpses of childlike awe in the images captured.
Spontaneous social research?
