In The Park - 001

     

This is where being a sweet grandmotherly type works well.  I am allowed to take photos of children in the park.  My goal here is to learn how to approach families and get permission.  The children of course love to have their photos taken.  Another goal is to learn how to see the beauty in people.

This little girl said, "Take my picture
maybe we could make a million dollars."

I make a point of asking for addresses so I can send photos for the parents.

Silliness

         
                   I like the bemused way the girls are looking at the silliness of the boys.
                   One can tell, looking at the photo, that these children like one another.

Innocent Beauty

I have been having trouble learning how to take photos in a room without a flash.  Jocelyn was willing to pose for me with the light coming in from a door window.  The other children either smile silly or act up. A flash is necessary in order to get the action.  Jocelyn is a very intense intelligent girl.
