On Saturday i went to the boys and girls club to shoot Oscar. Oscar helps the kids build bikes, and teaches them bike maintenance. it was hectic and terrifying at first, and the kids kept sticking their fingers in my cameras. but it the end, it was great, and there are many many more photos to come. favorite quote of the day: Oscar, "awww Leah could be a mother." This comment came as a surprise to both of us.
This was my second time at this particular boys and girls club, both for photo reasons, but this one was far more fun, even if i was mainly creepy around in the background. it was a beautiful day, and the first time i've gotten to wear flip flops this spring. (can it technically be "spring" if there's snow on the ground?)
anyway, great experience, first time i've taken a stab at shooting something in a more journalistic kind of way. i can see why people love autofocus so much now, but in all actuality i had a harder time hitting the shutter before a bike rolled off or the kids walked away then keeping things in focus the whole time.
thank you oscar.
