Sharing, Santa Fe, New Mexico, 2010

Two people don’t usually occupy one seat, but they do in this case. It was an incongruous situation. I found them sharing a rolling chair just across the street from Santa Fe’s Plaza. They noticed me shooting them, and during my first few shots, they grinned back at me in response. As I continued to shoot, they stopped laughing. Here, the man’s expression is normal, while the woman appears to repressing a smile. Their responses are essentially normal, down to the drink in hand, except for the incongruous fact that she is sitting in his lap.

Thanks, Tim. Yes, that's me in the window, looking down into my waist level viewfinder as usual. I never hide behind a camera when I am shooting, and I always make eye contact with my subjects, carrying a smile on my face. I think that's really why these people are putting up with me here. Thanks, Tim, for noting this.

What a wonderful moment of humanness. (If one looks closely one can see the photographer, in a very familiar stance, reflected in the window.)
