Easter 2008

I thought I'd stick up a few shots I took at a family gathering on Easter Sunday. Normally I'd leave my camera at home on such occasions (because I think it's good to get some downtime), but on this occasion my arm was twisted - and I'm glad it was.

One of my nephews (aged 4) mugs up to the camera something rotten, but when people (of all ages) do this, the solution is to keep taking pictures and otherwise get them so used to my presence (and my camera's presence) that they begin to forget I'm there. At that point, lovely candid/natural shots start presenting themselves.





(this picture was completely unposed - it was a test shot, in fact. I love the subconscious mirroring of gestures between my nephew and his father.)
