July 2013, Amsterdam. My brother-in-law listening to his mother answer the judge's question:
Why do you think your son asked you to be a witness to his marriage?
The photo itself isn't special except for the fact that it's among maybe 10 others (of over 60) I shot
that didn't come out blurry. I was shooting without a tripod and without flash (I hate flash), more an
experiment than actual documentation--witness the professional photographer behind the groom.
But it's special--very, very much so--to me because of the moment, the raw emotion.
The little boy inside the man.
Not often you see a man cries but when they do, it is priceLESS.
ReplyDeleteSo right, Fidelia! Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteFull of emotion and (now un-) hidden story!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Duncan. Maybe I shouldn't have un-hidden the story--might've made the shot all the more intriguing ;) Thanks for the visit!
DeletePerhaps, but I really do believe a story behind a picture multiplies its worth
DeleteVery well captured. The emotion is very clear and unmistakable.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful shot that says so much. Your explanation explains and enhances the picture so well.
