This week’s Photo Friday challenge is a grab bag called emotions. Emotions, especially the difficult ones, are difficult to capture on film because of their spontaneous nature. Sports photographers usually capture quite a few, but then they are trained on watching the “joy of victory… and the agony of defeat.” I sifted through some of my own photos, and most of the emotions captured came from happy or joyful moments. The few exceptions were usually contrived. Which isn’t to say that I haven’t experienced darker emotions… just that I’m less inclined to whip out my camera to preserve the moment.
So I went for the dogs… and a happy moment. This photo was snapped on our walk at Badlands Park above Laguna Beach, and the girls here (Maggie and Lucy) are two very happy bitches. We could all learn a lesson or two in contentment from our dogs.
