Jake’s topic this week is a broad one: People.
Jake talks about community, that made me think of events where people get together. Whenever I attend a get-together or family event I try to take general “crowd” pictures as well as close-ups. They aren’t the most artistic shots, and the composition isn’t always the best, but that isn’t their purpose for me. I take them to try to show the flavor of the event — what it was like to be there.
This is a photo of a birthday party/lobster fest last summer. People are in line to get their plates of food; notice all of the smiles…people are looking forward to eating!
If I’m lucky, when I look at the pictures after the fact, I see interactions going on between people that I didn’t see at the time.
This was an engagement cookout. You can tell who the couple is by their gestures and because there are two cameras snapping away besides mine!
Finally, I didn’t take this one (I’m the one with the silly green hat). This was taken at a Christmas luncheon where a bunch of us were singing Christmas carols. Looking at the photo, though, the woman on the left clearly said something funny or embarrassing!
Those are great photos. The women in the last photo is hilarious.
