Assignment 4


Week 4

Part One: Thematic and Conceptual Shooting


My theme is mother/child time......this is my daughter teaching her son how to play "Go Fish".  I love the way that he looks at her for direction, and the joy he is getting about being this close to his Mommy...... Before taking this class, I would not have  seen this shot.  I would have asked them to look and me and smile.  How precious this is...and until now,  I would have missed this opportunity.


Part Two: Getting in your pictures

This is the hardest of assignments to date.  I am much more comfortable behind the camera, but I do see the value in this exercise.  To Brooke and my classmates...thank you for your encouragement and your kindness.  I have loved this class so much, and I am a bit sad to see it come to an end.  My best to each and everyone of you....Karen

  2. What a precious picture of your daughter and adorable grandson! Great catch-lights in his eyes as well, and I love the low aperture so that the focus is only on the two of them. Beautiful! Great photo of yourself as well, and I love the inclusion of the coffee cup - I think I'll try to get one of me with mine - it's such an extension of me!

    I've really loved seeing your beautiful portraits of your grandson - he's lucky to have you :o)
