Shutter Sisters

delicious ambiguity

By

I always wanted a happy ending… Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.

::  Gilda Radner (1946 – 1989)

Behind the camera, there’s candid (i.e. subject knows you’re there, makes you chase, does best to Act Natural! and not pose but look agreeably windswept) and then there’s reeeally, truly candid (i.e. subject thinks you’re chasing windswept un-posers and sneaks her sixth cupcake).

This Labour Day, share with us the photos that had nothing to do with work, or planning, or chasing. Show us how you stalk the moment.

  13. I love stalking those unexpected moments! My pic was snapped at my sister’s wedding this summer. I had gone inside to get something (hmmm, probably some more champagne…) and saw this little moment through a window. Technically, it isn’t a great photo but it did capture something tender between these two.
