i heart faces – “photojournalism”

i ♥ faces

The theme at I Heart Faces this week is “Photojournalism.” I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about “photojournalism” when it comes to my work. Up until just a few months ago, I was aiming at joining the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA), so over the last few years, I geared most of my work toward this goal. I tell stories with my photos now, and even though I’m moving slightly away from wedding photojournalism now. This shot is one of my all-time favorite photos. It encompasses my style as few of my other photos do; the life and the motion and the real and the passion here tell the whole story in one captured second. I could not resist linking it up this week, and I’m looking forward to seeing the other entries! This one is going to be good!

Link up by Tuesday at 9:00 p.m. (central time) to share your own!

(Sorry about the two-post day; one of the drawbacks to having only one blog for writing and photography! Check out my earlier post – a photographic manifesto. Look out world! WHEW, and now it’s back to work!)

    I agree – this shot has magic in it! There’s something about the movement and the excitement on her face and the whole atmosphere that is just stunning. Well done.

    Thanks for your kind comments about my photo collage. Your photo has so much life and excitement in it. I also love that the bride’s face is what is most in focus so that you can really see her joy…..
