Posted by {H} creatives (San Francisco Bay Area, United States) on 1 July 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.
Hello! Thanks again to all of you - the "inspiration circle" - for your encouraging comments. There were a couple of constructive critiques as well that I will take into consideration as I build up my portfolio (see story here as to why I'm doing it).
This is the 7th installment of the "Two Shall Become One" series. This set is dedicated to a pro p-blogger friend - whom I have known for years - as these last few images were taken during her wedding (read story here).
This scene was captured rather unexpectedly. As the ceremony began, the little "rushing" flower girl may have begun to realize that those little petals on the ground might be stomped upon, and thought, "Oh, that's not a very nice thing to do to them." So, she decided to run back out to the aisles and save them [and brought the calvary along]!!! lol. I'm sure this happens quite a lot in weddings, but I thought the spontaneity of the moment was priceless, after all, that is what photography is all about isn't it?
That's what photography is to me: it's about capturing the moment - not so much the composition, the gear, the post processing, or whether it was a "bad" picture or a "good" picture [all of which are important but they are somewhat relative and subjective] - but the instant of time that was captured to be cherished many times over and shared, that to me is the most important. And now with the advent of photoblogs like AM3, we can share them with people around the world . (Thanks Jason and Aaron for building up a foundation for "inspiration circles"! It is appreciated) B-)
Next post - new couple!
Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend! B-) I will "see" you soon in your p-blogs. Cheers...
Excellent candid shot!

This is such a sweet shot...even though I cant see their faces I can imagine the expressions. All the more because of the context.

The girls seem fascinated by the petal! Great angle, great image.
1 Jul 2007 8:02pm
I agree with you about photography capturing the moments, but as far as it not being about composition so much I can agree and disagree, because you have such a natural eye for it that you have the whole package.
1 Jul 2007 8:04pm

Cute story and cute pic! Kids are wonderful at this age! Everything they do just reminds you of how us older folks might do well to think like little kids from time to time. Great job! =-)

You don't need half of this talent to make money, and now that you have more than two halves, you better start thinking of where the money is. I am serious... you are exceptionally good. Call me and let's talk. By the way, this is a stunner.

Ah you kill me ....that is sooooo cute!!! s in princess-dresses!!!!
2 Jul 2007 2:32pm
I entirely aggree with you: the moment is the most important thing. And when a special moment "meets" a special way of looking we have this kind of result: a special and beautiful photo.
2 Jul 2007 3:14pm
Beautiful shot... i quite agree with you on these lines....

It seems like you have articulated my thoughts!!!! thank you.

girls whom collect their future
2 Jul 2007 7:17pm
Another great shot! I like the angle and contrast of this photo.
2 Jul 2007 7:37pm
I love moments like these. I think at weddings, something always goes "wrong" (which is to say unexpected or unplanned), and those moments often become the most cherished and remembered.
3 Jul 2007 10:08am
adorable
3 Jul 2007 2:44pm
Just a so cute and innocent moment.
3 Jul 2007 4:37pm
priceless!
9 Jul 2007 6:35pm
Very nice photo.
11 Jul 2007 2:34am
Such a touching shot cleverly titled . . love the angle, the photique and the vignette which give this a special secrecy.
12 Jul 2007 3:31am
Lovely candid shot. Well processed.
