One of the great things about photographing people is that the imagination is left to create it's very own story when it sees the image. What is going on? Why are they where they are? And so on. People are one of the few subject matters that I do photograph, but when I have the opportunity I prefer candid moments where the subject is truly in their own world. The following image is a photo of my son and his buddy. It is such an iconic image because it is a photo of two friends and that is a topic and subject that is always close to any one's heart.
"Best Buds Fishing" (c) 2011
It is so simple but how many stories can you create by seeing the image? I can think of tons. The simple truth behind the photo is that they are learning how to catch tiny fish to use for bait when they go bass fishing later on. A perfect summer day, a perfect day for fishing and a perfect day to enjoy with your friend.
