Snaps - Winnipeg Folk Festival
Jul. 24th, 2008 08:21 pmSo, every year, I go to this little event call the Winnipeg Folk Festival. Every year it's different. Every year, however, I hear wonderful music, spend time with wonderful people, and gain several private memories that will stay with me forever.
This year, however, I had a camera.
I did not use my fancy camera, choosing to make due instead with my little camera that I use for snaps. It's greatly limited compared to my normal one, but it does have the advantage that it's easier to hide the fact that I'm taking pictures. This small benefit, combined with some truly fantastic light that Friday, has resulted in the set that you will find here. Please note that these are very different from what I usually do. Those of you wanting to see cute animals will be disappointed (unless you head over to National Geographic to look at a baby elephant).
They are not crisp. They are not as well composed as I would like. There are no funny captions. The subjects are not identified (except for
kalikanzara, who knows who she is ;). Instead, these photos show (in my opinion) individuals in their own private worlds. I consider myself lucky to have been able to snap these images.
I hope you like them.
