Blogging is a one sided conversation. I guess it’s not totally one sided because I usually have a conversation with myself as to what I should say in my post. I start thinking about little things that happen during a shoot and begin weaving them together with other thoughts to try express something that I would like to remember. Sometimes the conversation spills out and my husband will ask me who I’m talking to. Well….myself, of course! Isn’t that obvious! Rashmi called me to come to her home at take some pictures of her two children, Praveen and Uma. As it happened, Uma had taken a nap that day and was sleeping when I arrived so I spent quite a bit of time with Praveen. When Uma did wake up, she wasn’t interested in having a stranger follow her around taking pictures. I really can’t blame her. It’s hard to wake up after a good nap much less be excited about being photographed. Instead of forcing the issue, Rashmi just let it go. Refreshing. I only made two images of Uma that day with her tentative permission.
Here’s Praveen.
