quality time

spent the day with him, gave him a haircut and bought him some new shoes. happy.

was having trouble with the lens and this was one of the few focused shots. but its sorted now, I just needed the other lens mounting ring.

@ltodd this was my 'not looking at the camera, not posed shot... :)

@ltodd the natural light works on his face here, the others were too dark around the eyes.

yeah it is a different way of thinking for me to work towards capturing a 'moment' like this as a portrait, but capturing insight into a subject can come in many ways. Making the viewer 'work for it' is what you do so wonderfully naturally Kali, and that is what adds extra depth & meaning to your images and for the viewer....oops hope I am not rambling and/or over-analysing things. LOL!
