Yeah, that would be a good example, Bruce.
I guess my philosophy is that people can pay you to take photos of their
kids smiling and being cute, but they can't stop you from creating the
images you want to create in the process. They can pick the ones they
like and I'll be happy to keep the ones I like. And the fact that a more
doleful-looking image was captured in the context of a turn-and-smile
portrait session doesn't make it somehow illegitimate.
Obviously, no one was suggesting that at all. I'm just spouting off
here. But, in my admittedly limited experience as a photographer (not
just as a portrait session photographer, which is extremely limited), it
seems as though some of my favorite images are the ones that are stolen
moments. I could be in the middle of a party where everyone is laughing
and smiling and otherwise having a great time, but the shot I'm really
looking for is the pensive wallflower.

Yeah that one's actually not bad at all, I just thought the guitar was a
but big in the frame for my taste.
Thank you, Cotty.

Lovely composition, but it felt too too sad for me. But that one is a fab
pic.
And thanks again.
I have to say, I'm a little surprised that I seem to like somber images more
than others. They really have always been the photos that stick with me the
most.
I bet there's a pill for that.
