    Grandma’s Hand

    I watched as grandma and grandpa kept an eye on this young child. They wanted to make sure he was safe. He was checking everything out as you can see in his eyes. I am making the assumption that he was with grandparents. It’s works for this image. Have a wonderful weekend and keep checking out all the world around you.

    This was taken 11 years ago during  a photo session with Susan and Haley in Old Town.  I was new to digital, as well as portraits, so it was a good learning experience.  Learning continues today as I shot but also as I look back through the archives checking lighting, composition, pose and EXIF data. I found a handful of good poses and expressions that are not usable due to shutter speeds of 1/5 of a second. Hopefully that would not happen today.
