You can't see me. Today, with a bit of a mild spell, I took my daughter to the park for some calorie-burning activities. It was pretty empty, so we had essentially the entire play area for ourselves. Swinging on the swing set, playing in the sandbox, and perfecting the see-saw's dynamics were on her priority list while I attempted to catch her in an unguarded moment with my camera. Since she is extremely wary of my motives, it was pretty hard to get her today. I went in under the pretense of snapping photos of her beloved stuffed rabbit taking a ride on a swing she was pushing and managed to get some fun shots of her.
When photos are taken of people with the eyes shut, it aggravates me as a photographer since moments are hard to get more than once. However, there are few times that when a subject blinks at the right time, all the emotions and feelings come out just with the simple act of smiling or other body language. This is precisely what happened with this shot of her pushing her animal. I can almost see both the embarrassment of being caught in a shot along with the sheer delight of having the time of her life with me and her rabbit.
