I’m a big fan of using the available light when you can and also taking photos when your subject isn’t thinking about you taking a photo. I wonder what the instinct to smile for the camera is all about. It must be a learned thing because in older photographs you don’t see as much smiling. There is also something about black and white images that are particularly nice. For instance, this is one of my friend Galen.
She came to an event for a Peoria singles club that I run.
