02.02.2010 Exclusive: YPI KIDS - More than just Photography
I am a photographer and a photography writer and through this trait I meet several interesting people and have been fortunate to work on several inspiring projects. But I have never come across anything as special as YPI KIDS. Have you ever wondered about the point where your profession becomes passion? Or when photography become more than just photography?

The exhibition, which debuted last fall at the Maine Children's Museum in Portland, is the brainchild of Paul Denckla. Retired after years as a real estate investment advisor, mostly in the Chicago area, Denckla moved to Camden a few years ago from Whitefish, Mo. Since arriving on the Midcoast, he has explored a lifelong interest in film photography and was looking for a way to use the medium in a context that would contribute to the community.
