bob parrish Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Two young brothers A couple of weeks ago my sister in law asked me to take a portrait of two of her grandchildren. I have difficulty with the "say cheese!" sort of pictures and asked her to let me ponder awhile. I found this quote by Heraclitus, "Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play." I liked the quote. Children are serious about their play. And they have a sense of wisdom and depth that I, as an adult, often ignore. This was my favorite. Yes, I got some of them laughing, but this is more of what I was after. bob Nov 03, 2012 at 02:18 AM

Velu01 Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Two young brothers I like it as well Bob ! Just read an interesting article about "portraits". Most of the time we want our subjects to "cheese", but maybe they aren't the "say cheese" kinda person at all ! And therefore, you don't really "catch" THEM. Made me think. Lovely tone.

Good job! _______________ While I agree with your sentiment/concept or desire to show the children like this, rather than "cheese for the camera," I don't interpret the quote from Heraclitus the same way as you do...in fact I see (interpret/understand) it as quite the opposite of what I suppose you do. There lies the wonderful way that things can be seen differently by different people. Nov 03, 2012 at 03:22 PM

I tell them to say "Purple People Eater" and they start laughing - that's when I shoot. Still, the are often looking to the side or have their eyes closed in many shots! Nov 04, 2012 at 07:08 AM
