Soggy Friends

Soggy students on their way back to class after lunch in town. Yesterday was the first respectable rain in a long while.

Don’t you love these faces?

    Never thought of that. Made mine though!

    I’m normally not that comfortable with getting into people’s faces with a wide angle lens. But I somehow don’t have a problem with kids. Probably because they don’t have a problem with it!

    Often with groups, even small groups, it’s necessary to shoot lots of images in order to get a good expression with everyone in the group. And even then it may be necessary to move faces in post production from one or more frames in order to create a good photo. Not so when kids are into what they’re doing. And these kids were certainly into being wet; and taking their wet into the school.

      By the way I’ve decided to support the Performing Arts at the school pictured behind these kids.

      In a small island community (10,000) it’s best to focus on one cause, both to keep sane, and to make a difference. Gulf Islands Secondary School on Salt Spring Island has a school within a school. It’s called GISPA. It’s run but three talented and dedicated teachers and a bunch of awesome kids.

      It’s my little company’s cause.
