Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #67 – Candid
Ann-Christine has a fun theme for us this week for the Lens-Artists Challenge. We get to look at the candid photo.
Ann-Christine said, “Taking photos of people or animals when they have no idea that you’re doing it is called candid photography. One of the beautiful things with photography is being able to catch someone in the act. It adds natural life to your pictures.”
“You did what? You took that doughnut photo? Now everyone knows about it.”
“A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.” ― Eudora Welty
“I looked funny when I laughed, but thanks for the photo anyway.”
“The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.” – Andy Warhol
“Ahhh, I wasn’t that scared of the crowd!”
“Photography is the story I fail to put into words.” – Destin Sparks
“Hmmm, let me see what Mommy and Grandma put in their purses.”
“You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. You can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life.” ― Joan Miró
“Do you need help?” “Nooo, I’m the flower girl!”
“In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.”
– Alfred Stieglitz
“Don’t worry! I have plenty for all of you.”
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” – Aaron Siskind
“Shhhh……”
“Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies.” – Diane Arbus

Miriam, I love these photos and the accompanying quotes! 😀 They are all so true, especially about telling a deeper reality than we were ever aware of and also that ‘“You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. You can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life.” ― Joan Miró. The one of the laughing women is contagious and candid photos at weddings are often the best I’ve found! A great photo challenge and one I’ll look at adopting more!

No worries, Denise. It happened to me. When I tried to spell the blogger’s name, I looked at another blog and spelled it wrong.
I’m at Maui airport, returning home. Will answer other comments later.
