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.

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.

wisdom

I rely on my instincts to be at the right place at the right time, my eye to see the composition, my soul to envision the meaning and possibility, my mind to read the light, and my experience to do it well every time. These are the intangibles of good photography-instinct, an eye, soul, a technical mind, and years of experience.

Every time someone tells me how sharp my photos are, I assume that it isn't a very interesting photograph. If it were, they would have more to say. ~Author Unknown
