I'm Not A Photojournalist

I'm not a photojournalist. I have no compunctions about interfering or interacting with my friends in order to get the shot I want. These two are good examples. On the left, I wanted Kasey's face to be lit by the sun streaming through the blinds. Unfortunately, she sat back against her dad and away from the sun. Since she's too young to understand verbal directions from me, I tempted her with the bright yellow bag of chips. I dangled it in front of her and when she grabbed it, I pulled her forward gently. Booya! I got my photograph. On the right, I wanted to record Kasey giving me a fist bump. Just because I carry the camera, doesn't mean I need to always be silent and unobtrusive.
