Portrait Photography : The Expression of the Emotions

Every Picture Tells a Story © Sandy Powers

Lady Lisa. I saw her and had to photograph her so I got up my nerve and went and asked to take her photo. She was delighted, and talked to me for a long time about how she used to be a model. I showed her the picture and she really liked it ! - Sandy Powers

The lonely clown... © Carf

Vando had big expectations for the day but turned out a rather sad clown during our Hummingbird in the community manifestation on May 1st. He was missing his clowning colleague, Vinicius, who was unable to be present on the day.- Carf

Sad Clown © Rich

God I love face painting day at daycare. Today Frankie came home as a clown. Which should be a happy thing but I always think of clowns as sad so I immediately said "time to take pictures" and "make your sad face". She takes direction so well for an almost three year old.

Later, we were in the back yard with the dogs and Colonel Mustard had an apple and jumped on the lawn chair to eat it. Frankie turns to me and says "We need a picture of this". That's my girl! - Rich
