Round 'n Round (Multi Photo of the Month Winner)

This is a picture of my dad spinning my daughter Katie around in the back yard.

This image has won multiple photo contest, and in fact, has pretty much paid for my new camera in prize value so far.

She looks like she is having the time of her life. Well captured.
Sandie 08-May-2005 18:19
wow, HOW did you get that picture from the vantage point? IT looks like you took the picture and spun your daughter. We you on a ladder?

I just love the expression on her face. This is a lovely photo.

A picture for the heart! Ecstatic image! Hold on to that feeling, little girl...
Dan Chusid25-Mar-2005 04:33
I especially like the way you've held the camera in your teeth!
Guest 24-Mar-2005 21:13
Perhaps you've read my book?? "The art of spinning children until they puke.."

great shot in so many ways..

Most interesting point-of-view shot I've seen! I get a bit dizzy just looking at it. Nicely done!

The reason this image has received so much attention, Mike, is because it is abstract, incongruous, and rich in human values -- the three principles I use in my cyberbook as a basis for photographic expression. The incongruity and abstraction come through your vantage point. Those arms become the arms of all of us. They are disembodied, the background is blurred to imply movement, and your daughter screams in delight, which is certainly a significant human value.

Great, fun shot.
Guest 21-Mar-2005 21:34
Superb! I wonder how you take the picture
John Hastings15-Mar-2005 21:40
Understandably successful. May I add my congratulations and vote.
Guest 14-Mar-2005 20:31
What a shot. I love the movement, wonder how you did this without tipping over!
Guest 14-Mar-2005 15:48
This is lovely! /Jezz
Guest 13-Mar-2005 02:53
This is a great shot Mike and her expression is one of pure joy. Still...I've got to ask, did you trip the shutter with your nose? ;-)

great shot, great movement!
Guest 11-Mar-2005 17:39
This is great, brought a huge smile to my face remembering myself being swung around by my dad. Good job!
