A picture to tell a story of something we didn't cover after the fact usually leads to pretty boring photos. They end up being portraits because we won't stage or fake a photograph based on journalism codes of ethics. Though a portrait is staged somewhat, it is staged honestly and not with the intent to deceive. During these portraits we keep and eye out for little moments when the subject is no longer posing. That's what we look for and try to capture for the paper. Not only does it add an action to the image, it is more times than not a more accurate portrait of the subject. Today I photographed Walker Dunn, a nine year old who showed his heifer at the Pennsylvania State Farm show. The heifer ended up winning Supreme champion. Walker showed the heifer named 8181 in all but the final supreme champion where his mother took over simple because the heifer was a little agitated and the crowd was a lot bigger than anything Walker had seen before and he was admittedly a little scared. I was happy with this picture because Walker had his picture taken a lot in Harrisburg and I could tell he was expected to pose for those photos because he wanted to pose, staring at the camera and smiling for me. I took those shots too and they would've been fine for the paper, but this - more active picture I think draws us in more and gives a little better understanding of Walker and his connection to his animal.
