I think that it is
absolutely wonderful that kids would be shown with their early builds. It seems that some are making assumptions that my initial post should not have caused. The photos I had referred to are ones where the
inanimate aesthetic qualities of the photos seemed to be what caused their selection. These qualities include lighting, backdrop, focus, and overall impression of professional photography. I don't see those qualities as paramount, as it's all about us and our models, right?
Hope that clears up all the apparent confusion and misconceptions.

After they're done, they're kinda fun to show other people, but for me, the best part is a clean slate (or workboard, rather) to start a new project.
That's exactly what I was getting at, and should have been left at that.
