Candid pictures

Candid pictures speak a lot. One can weave a complete story around a candid picture.

This little girl was showing off her skills on how to make her little sister laugh, and when she realized that she had a large appreciative audience, she was making sure that all eyes were on her before her next act.

Or these group of young people discussing the daily affair. Each one has a different expression, but it’s a common meeting ground for them I suppose.   

For these musicians it must be a daily routine, performing in front of the passing crowd. Some do contribute out of pity, while some out of genuine appreciation of the music. I noticed that the guy on the trumpet was really enjoying the music.

And here was a girl patiently waiting for mother to get the hang of the camera and click them while her dad was doing the balancing act so that the complete Louvre Pyramid would be in the frame.

Group photos are fun, and time consuming, but just hang around on the side lines and click them in between shots. That is the time when they are more relaxed and natural, till the official photographer calls out for the next shot. I clicked this when the whole family had gathered to celebrate grandmother’s 90 th Birthday.

 (she is the only one who was looking at my camera) She is one enterprising lady and you can read more about her and her achievements here.   

One can gauge the anticipation of this gentleman as he prepares his bait before he goes in for that swing with his long fishing rod.

I wonder if this falls under candid pictures as wifey caught me wearing a ladies hat.

She says I kinda look "cute" in this.

By the way today's post with C is Candid pictures and not "Cute"
