A view from days end

Native camera

Snapseed

 

Street photography is one of my favorite genres of photography. I think this interest has made me more aware of seizing candid moments when dealing with family and friends.

 

I'd seen this amazing moment and immediately tried to capture it.

Funny thing about Life happening, it has a tendency to not pause when I need or want it.

However, I was determined to reenact the moment.

My niece understands the mood I am often looking for in photos.

(When she was younger I was doing a photo session with her and her brother who kept striking posed smiles, she says to him, 'don't smile. Stefanie doesn't like smiles."

Of course that statement isn't true. )

The candid - genuine moments, Including smiles from the heart are what I strive for. (Ok ...perhaps I do like some well contrived moody moments. )

Which is what brings me to the child. They are naturals.

Especially when it comes to the close of a day.

Whether fatigue or inquisitiveness as to the funny lady behind the phone, getting a moment, even if not an exact reenactment , was simply a couple of snapshots away.

I cropped away distracting elements and converted to black and white in Snapseed.
