POTW 8/3/11

Postby sirhc55 on Mon Mar 07, 2011 9:11 pm

I’m always amazed by the wonderful photographs that members post on this forum.

This week I was taken by this photo from Rodney:

Beautifully captured and a scene that should touch all of us. As we sit by our computers surrounded by family and friends remember Rodney’s emotive capture of one less fortunate than us.

Well done Rodney, a wonderful shot(s).

Very nice portraits. I guess what I admire
is the nerve to point a camera a this
subject for I would find this very hard
to do. I like also the b&W.
Congratulations!

Street photography is rarely boring. And that holds from a shooting perspective, as well as from a viewing one.

Great choice, Chris, and great work, Rodney.

Well done Rodney, you certainly have some courage to take shots like these, but unlike standard, run-of-the-mill images, these are different.
