To the chemist’s daughter:

Your father is worried for you. “She’s a smart girl in college” he says.  “She just changed her major,” he pauses, “…to photography.  And I don’t think photography can make a living.”  He’s probably told you this, and it’s probably made you sad or angry.  But you, the chemists daughter, you know.  Life is more than what you do, it’s who you are.  Keep at it.  He’ll be ok, as long as you’re happy.

(…oh, and I set him straight for you.)
