serendipity

So I stopped photographing for a bit to help my mom out with luggage and whatnot, and when I looked back, the little chubby boy's father was talking to him. It was such a sweet moment, since the toddler had to crane his neck to look up at him. I whipped out my camera to try to capture the two of them, and to my surprise, the father suddenly picked him up and looked at me just as I pressed the shutter. What luck!

LOVE the focus - how the backgournd has been blown out & the people are melting away - maybe from the sweet joy and kindness of this father son capture.

Thank you for these words+picture e.! I just attended a lecture this morning on a congress in my school, where the speaker showed how pictures and films can serve research activities. Unexpected observations is one of the benefits! Great photo!
