What happens when you don’t say “cheese” to the people you’re taking pictures of? And those people don’t realize that your camera’s motive is them. A stolen shot is basically taking pictures of people you don’t know and that they don’t know you’re taking pics of them. In the case of the picture below, I know these girls and they know me (we’re friends, in other words). But what made it a stolen shot was that they didn’t know I was clicking the camera without warning them. I didn’t even know it would come out like this. My hands were uncontrollable the first time I owned a digicam.
I took this pic a long time ago when we visited a friend (one of the girls in the picture). After lunch, we had tea and cassava cake. But I’m sure it wasn’t the cassava cake that made their faces, hmm, sour (?) I would want the two girls in front to glance back at the camera a bit so I could get a different angle of them, instead of the traditional face-to-face pose. But something went wrong and I accidentally triggered the camera’s button.
Photography is about capturing moments that are natural without any interference between the click and the original moments i.e.. a presentation as it is.
Claps ! Claps ! Claps !

And I wish I could always capture moments the natural way. I need to learn more about candid photography.
Who is that girl in extreme left, is she an Indian? Hey what about broken wings, have you read it?

She is actually a Filipina, but looks a bit Indian, I don’t know why. I have to ask her if she is related to anyone from India.
The Broken Wings is the next in line. I want to finish that “Let the right one in” first before reading another story. I’m almost done with it. I’ll tell you what I think about your book as soon as I read it.
Look at the Top Commentator spot now. Top three positions captured by Indians. 🙂
