I didn't realize until today that I have, in fact, (conceivably) two dead people in my collection of shots.

Father and Daughter at the Fountain
Taken in the Jardines Reales Alcazares - Sevilla, Spain
Spanish men are known for their devotion to family, especially their daughters. I thought this image really captured that sentiment.

We took the boo to a Halloween event yesterday. She didn't wear her costume because it was too hot (scorching hot & no shade; I felt really bad for some of these kids) but I did manage to get a few shots of the costume contests that I liked.

These ladies are tea pickers, in the highlands of Sri Lanka. I'm not sure if they were joking about me wearing a sarong, or that I had just walked past them and they were surprised. I like the slice of life shot:

Over the past year and a half there have been monumental changes in lives of my sister and I...some of which led to misunderstandings and hurt feelings. Her unhappy marriage and depression was the root of it all. These pictures were taken last month during a weekend get away to help get over it all. We have different ways of seeing life's events, but we're finally on track with each other again. I love her.
I took this of her... ...and she took this of me. |

No...nothing like that was going through my mind when I took her photo, can't say for sure what she was thinking, but to me they do symbolize our different ways of looking at things. Good interpretation on your part, though.

I liked how this photo captured her hands and facial expression, echoing the religious iconography of the saints. She was the annual Swamp Buggy Queen, a long-standing tradition and highly-esteemed honor in Naples, on a scale as revered as any royalty or goddess or saint. She presided over the swamp buggy races all day in the hot sun. Taken on October 25, 2009 with a Sigma 50-500mm lens.

My sister. Christmas morning. We both got cameras, opened them and took pictures of eachother taking pictures of eachother.
This is one of my best friends. We took a roadtrip to the next town over for lunch, got a flat tire, and ended up sitting on the sit of the road for an hour waiting for her mother to come rescue us. I love this picture. |
