It was the last farmers market of the season in Uptown Westerville and although I’d visited the market every Wednesday afternoon I wasn’t pleased with most of the portraits, or attempted portraits, I’d taken during the three hours it was open for business. This day I tossed my Lastolite EzyBox in the trunk of the [...]
I’ve waited for this photo for several weeks. The scene has happened a number of times but usually too cluttered in the background or lacking the touch of a hand on the shoulder.

I began the afternoon shooting the barn at left in cloudy skies with fluffy clouds and a scattering of streaks of warm light creating shadows and contrast both for my [...]
