I just realized that you must have made this terrific shot at the same time that I was making a picture of my own just beyond the right hand edge of your frame -- the one I have posted athttp://www.pbase.com/image/40167596 . This lady is probably getting a few laughs watching me struggle to get that little girl in her mother's lap to give me the right kind of look. Jen Zhou commented on that relationship just this morning, and I linked my shot to this one for her. Your image reinforces the nature of these wonderful people, and shows another way to get responsive reactions out of people when two or more photographers happen to be shooting in the same area simultaneously. Instead of also shooting the mother and daughter as I was doing at this moment, you are telling instead the story of another person -- one who is obviously enjoying watching me make that picture. This happy lady probably had no idea you were shooting her at this moment, and the image is all more spontaneous because of it!
