LIFE'S A BLUR

Nice work, David. I like the composition and tones very much, lauren

Thanks very much. I appreciate it.

that's a very deep title for a lovely and joyful photo

But when you're a grandpa, life is a blur. I guess I was saying more about me than Allison.

Don't we all David, don't we all?

It feels as though the viewer is going around on a merry-go-round while the girl chases alongside. I like the kinetic energy, life in motion. Those white highlights across the top make the picture pop while giving a view off into the world. I like this one.

An astute observation. That effect is most certainly because I was panning in a circle to follow her. And it was just like we were on a merry go round with me in the center. She was deliberately making it hard for her grampy to take her picture. Thanks for your thoughts.

Grandpa David, it is a girl in a dancing motion , moving , playing , joyful ranning.... I like the BG contrast, the photographer( without the title....).... and the result !

oh Grampio, is it ever! in a moment she will be 15!

She take dance lessons. Who knows, someday maybe you will photograph her as she performs in her own dance company. Now that would be cool.

You are breaking my heart with reality! But you are oh so right. Thanks

Just wonderful, David. Sometimes these motion blurs capture more of life than a crystal clear photo and that's certainly the case here. It kind of reminds me of the newspaper pictures in the Harry Potter movies that actually move. Not your usual style but one of your best.

Thank you for your kind words. I think you truly sense the depth of my feelings in this type of image.

I've had to revisit. I agree with Jack that this is one of your special ones, Dave, one of your best. Packed with emotion, you might even consider simply titling it "Life".

I think you may be right about the title. It gives it a bit more universality. Thanks for the thoughts.

Geez. This is my life. Constantly chasing after kids who are becoming faster and faster while I get slower and slower. Parenthood (and grandparenthood) can be an emotional whirlwind. I was spinning my daughter around the other day and laid her on the ground. She remarked, "Daddy, the house is spinning." I thought, "I know what you mean, kid. I know what you mean." Great capture. Apart from the emotional connection, the shot itself holds a lot of interest, capturing the motion of a youngster extremely well.

Thanks a lot. I'll bet you are a fine daddy.

Grandpa David, when she will have her own dance company, where shall I be ?...LOL... Grandma Pnina....

Not to worry, you'll be the first to know.

Very special indeed! Our Blur is just starting she will be one in May! Wonderful to be grandparents for sure. Take care

Thanks. You are in for the time of your life.

I missed this one...how could I possibly add anything deeper than the comments above...except that it is quite apparent that you love her very much. What power that holds...

Thanks. Because I have moved some images through pretty quickly lately, I set up a most recent ten so that anybody can see what the latest posts have been beyond what is on the home page. Hopefully, that is how you came across this one. As the ten become eleven, I move the photo to the folder it belongs to on a more permanent basis. Thanks so much for all the nice things you've said about my photos. I do really appreciate it.

Good system...that is how I found this one.

Nice shot. Maybe add more contrast to the lower half of the photo? Cheers, Jay
