I also was frustrated with my photography. Partly because I am not exactly an expert or have a particular gift for the art, but also because there were just way too many people around everything I was trying to shoot. I want to get the shot of the building, not a shot of 40 junior high kids on a field trip. Plus, winter was still holding on so there wasn't much color in anything. The days were gray and drab. Such is life.
Oh, and I got a B in the class.

Good pictures. (found your site by accident, while looking for some info on McCain, but not disappointed)
On the other hand, don't be too shy about getting the kids in the photos. I didn't spend my days in the military for a bunch of stone markers, I spent them defending the country for those kids.
I guess you are right. It's just that some of those kids did not aprreciate where they were, especially at the holocaust memorial. I don't suppose I would have been any different when I was a kid.
