Today I photographed three people who are heading into their senior year in high school. These are three very good 'kids'. I put that in quotes because in many ways they are not kids anymore. We seemed to have fun today. I remember several laughs today and everyone seemed to say they had fun. I sometimes get so wrapped up in looking through the frame of my camera that I lose track of the social atmosphere of a photo shoot. I do admit, I feel out of touch sometimes and wonder if I'm even close to talking in a way young people understand--for that matter people my own age. My brother tells me sometimes that I think things are funnier than they really are...and that does come into my head sometimes as I'm chatting. But I think we all had fun and these three photos from todays shoot with three very nice people are a small example of what we shot today. I can't wait to get these all cropped and toned for them to see. It is a great thing when people are excited about having their photos taken.... it makes me smile that they do. I love making photographs and trying different things. The more I do this the more I love it, even though its a struggle, the rewards are in the pictures we make and hopefully the reactions of the people we make them for. More from today's shoots to come, but first--sleep! SayerMotter Photographs by Richard Sayer.
