feedback wanted/needed/appreciated!

I think this is a good place for this since I seem to be struggling more with the writing.

I'm putting together a submission for an art publication. I'm going for a very simple photo/journal type thing. A short written introduction to a series of photographs.
I would love any constructive feedback anyone would be willing to throw my way. I'm rather stuck because I don't know what else to do with it, but it doesn't feel finished, either.
Here's the writen bit:

Child experts will tell you that it is through play that children’s early learning is achieved. According to Picasso, a child doesn’t need to be taught to be artistic. “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.� My own children revived the artist in me by allowing me to, once again, view life through a child’s perspective. When I move through a room they have recently vacated, I encounter the remainders of the little worlds they’ve inhabited during their play. I’m imaginative again and my space, with its seemingly random objects, is injected with wonders such as a jar of feathers on a windowsill, catching the sunlight, or a pencil taped to a wall by the back door.

And here are links to the photos I'm sending along as well:

feather jar

potty horse

robot

doll head

taped pencil

I'm also still in need of a title.

love the pictures and i think

love the pictures and i think the explanatory paragraph is good - like China said, you don't have to say a whole lot.

i'll have to mull on the title, nothing is springing to mind.

Its wonderful.

well - I love those pictures - I love the last paragraphs - talking about when you move through a room you find their little worlds left behind, how you describe them and then have the awesome pictures.

I think thats set up enough. simple is better. through these images we also see the wonder.

I like it just as. too much writing is a pain in the butt and detraction from the elegance.

now for the title - the title should be selected perfectly .... hmmm.

Still Life of Play

.. I dont' know.

thank you

for your feedback.
Whenever I get something that I'm happy with I tend to send it along too soon.
You're right though, simple is better. I'm going to spend some time with the title.
Love your suggestion!
