Weekly Assignment

We finished up our assignment on the Joys of Childhood this week. And in one of our rare outcomes, we had a 3-way tie for first place. So this week, in no particular order, we have three really stand out shots that we think captured the joys of childhood.

First up is Specialks boy with a a boot. Getting dirty is often a part of childhood, but what really made this shot special was the sense of wonderment that was captured on the little boys face.

Next up is cgibbss boy in a swing. Once again, its really the expression that catches the eye here. And the out of focus person in the background also helps contribute to the story. Not to mention it being a perfectly timed action shot.

And finally, we have Meggsieks little girl setting on the grass in Life on the Farm.
