I have developed a deeper appreciation for snapshots. And black and white photos. I feel like sometimes I get wrapped up in making a shot look as 'good' as possible. It's like I have a mental list in my head of what makes a nice photo -- and if a picture doesn't have good composition, contrast, and a unique subject, then it isn't worth keeping. So as a result of my faulty thinking, I very rarely took snapshots.
But one day I was really frustrated with some of my homework, and decided to clear my head by taking some pictures of my little sister. {She was playing with homemade play doh.} Though none of these are 'perfect', I'm so very happy with them.
I think candid shots capture people's personality incredibly well.
And if candid shots capture the personality, then black and white candids must capture the soul.
Do you like candid shots?

These are breathtaking.
Aww, these are all so adorable!
Candid shots are always great, but just like you, many times I forget about them, and think a picture has to be posed, and look just right. Great reminder, and these are some great B&Ws. :)
