At the breakwater the weekend before last. I was moved to take a photo by the opposites in textures, the shapes of the granite versus the shapes of the shadows, and person versus granite. Emma didn't mind doing an opposite of a Christina's world prone pose. Despite the opposites, it all works together nicely.

I like the gaze and catchlight here. Sort of cool and curious and reserved all captured nicely.

Thank you John Conway, JP498. It's difficult to take portrait of my children, cause they never stay still long enough.

Yes, I can relate to that. Here is a portrait of my son, taken with 8x10 FP4 with a Fuji 300 lens.

Great portrait of a cute little girl. You should be very proud. make her a print for when she grows up she will really appreciate it. Keeping them still is hard at any age.

Thank you Jim, I highly appreciate your comment. I will make a print but 4x5 too small for contact print. Next time I will shoot with my 5x7 camera.

My son. It's a little bit out of focus because he swing back and forth all the time.
