Working Girl
Posted on July 16, 2010 in People
This photo is from the Civil War Encampment last month and features a little girl in period clothing working at the campsite. I love that you can only see her profile beneath her pretty plaid bonnet. The above image was processed as a painting and the original is below. There was perfect soft light in the morning when I photographed this event. A number of children were playing together and they were very active, so it was a challenge to get a good photo without specifically asking them to pose. Rather than interrupt their fun, I chose to take candid shots. This is a favorite.
