I ♥ faces week 37--Completely candid

I take a lot of pictures. A lot. When I saw the theme for this week's challenge a few weeks ago, however, I didn't have any idea which picture I would like to use.

You see, I am into candid shots. All of them. That means, most of the pictures taken starting March of this year were candid shots. I had more than 10,000 pictures to choose from.

I even went out again a few days ago, just to capture some candids. To no avail.

So, I went back to my photo library, after a few days' search, I dug this baby out:


Completely Candid



I took this back in March, when I first got a hold of a DSLR. I loved to capture people and moments, even back then. Chuck E Cheese. A Photo booth. Two boys, who were totally unaware of my existence (a good thing). It was just the boys, the machine, and a precious, special friendship captured.

Completely candid.

It's so true...this was a hard week to choose one shot. You picked a great one!

So nice and crisp even though it's taken inside. And those cheesy smiles directed--not at you-- but at another camera, make this a perfect candid choice.

I love it! An absolute candid moment.
And yes, it was really hard to decide which picture I should use.

I love it Rosina. The colors and composition are beautiful and I love all the interest in this shot. Looks like such a fun place to go...such a retro feel with the booths. You really did capture a "completely candid" moment...in such a "completely perfect" way.

About me

I am a wife to a loving, thoughtful husband, a mother of two little angels. Because of my husband's job, we have relocated from New Jersey to Los Angeles three years ago. I miss everything back East..NYC, Gray's Papaya, the subway..but know that LA is where God wants us to be right now. His grace is sufficient; I can't live through a day without depending on Him. My love affair with photography began when I was sixteen years old, when I saw a photograph taken by my cousin at South Seaport in NYC--it was a light switch turned on somewhere inside me. When I came home, I dove into photography. Since then, I've always had a burning desire to pursue photography. It was unfortunately cut short due to choosing another field of study during my college years..not until I became a stay-at-home mom and a God-given opportunity early this year, I was able to finally reunite with this passion..and the rest is history.
