A Photo a Week Challenge: That Face!

As much as I love doing portraits, I really enjoy taking candid photos even more. You get to see someone’s real personality when they aren’t worried about how they look or if their hair is perfect. My niece is actually really good about me taking her photo, whether in a formal portrait setting or grabbing a quick shot like this one.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A CANDID (SUBJECT OF YOUR CHOOSING) PHOTO OR TWO.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
  2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
  3. Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.

A Photo a Week Challenge: One

Three Dog Night sang “One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do,” but sometimes one is the best number for creating a memorable photo. This photo is of my niece walking through the gardens at Schloss Brig in Brig, Switzerland. She wasn’t really alone (obviously because I’m taking a picture of her), but she enjoyed wandering off by herself for a bit to take in the beauty of her surroundings (and to get away from her travel buddies for a little while — who doesn’t need that every now and then on a two-week trip?). I love the reflective and peaceful look on her face.
