Smiles : focus to infinity

Smiles

February 8, 2010 | Filed Under Uncategorized 

Was shooting an assignment in Thies, Senegal the other day, when the obligatory gaggle of children surrounded me and demanded ‘photo! photo!’ I tried to calm them down and explain I was busy for a moment, but the reporter was talking to some sources whom I wasn’t going to photograph. So after a minute I corralled them all, and one-by-one, took a close-up. They were quiet and everything. It was like a Christmas mirace.

    LOVE these. Especially the sly eyes in the beginning.

    Yes, the SLY EYES. Precisely, Naomi. Those sly eyes remind me of the paintings in museums in Scooby Doo episodes. You know, when Mona Lisa’s eyes follow you…

    I’m so glad you entertained the “obligatory gaggle of children.” Remember when you lived in Sarasota, where children were endangered?
