Full Hands

I saw this busy mama walking alone with her 4 kids in an inner city park the other day. Talk about full hands. I loved how the brother was in the back holding hands with his little sis. Moved by the photo, I prayed for this young family last night. That their home would be filled with joy, laughter and love and that they would have all that they need. May this mama's hands and heart be full with her sweet family.

Gearing up for NYC this Friday...and finding that I love street and city photography!

nice candid

You should be in your glory while in the Big Apple for street photography. Are you, by any chance, hooking up with Michael Elliot for a photographic tour?

Great candid shot and words. Wish I could whisk myself away and join y'all in NYC! Ahhh, one day perhaps!

@skipt07 I am, Skip. He and Adam, his brother, are hosting a meet up in the city and I decided to go. What an opportunity to have ME and the NYC crew show me around New York for a photo tour! I can't wait as I've never been to NYC.

LOVE the handholding. There is something so moving when siblings (assuming they are) take care of each other. Lovely scene.

Great candid shot...love it! Nice sibling interaction! So envious of your NYC meet up! Can't wait to see shots from all who are involved. So exciting.

@ididntdoit87 I know. I am so overwhelmed with 3 and I have a husband and help when I need it. Makes me realize all I've got and put things into perspective.

Thanks all for your comments on this candid shot of the busy mama. It really struck me for some reason, maybe as a mama myself and being so overwhelmed at times with my own 3. Hope to catch many more poignant shots in the city this weekend.

Wonderful street shot xx

Amanda while you're here in NYC, if you like, I'm sure I can find some time during the week to take you to a few of my fav places to shoot. With the meet up its hard to cover a lot with a crowd and all. Besides the best photography is in the evening.

@psychographer Thanks so much, lady!!

@michaelelliott Oh that would be great, if we could work it out and figure out a time. We can try to see what may work tomorrow. I leave Monday late afternoon/evening.
June 21st, 2013  
@michaelelliott One possibility is tomorrow evening. If we are not too exhausted after the day. I will have all of my gear.
