we were in the same park
~~
they were feeding the ducks
I was trying to get some early fall~taken from the ankle~macro shots
I watched them out of the corner of my eye
they were a cute family
~~
they were taking photos of each other
I used their camera and took a group shot for them
~~
a bit later
I asked if I could take their photo with my camera
they said yes
I told them I take jumping photos
they said great
~~
they made me laugh
they made me smile
they made my day
~~
I gave them my business card
he gave me his
~~
I asked if I could put their photo on my blog
they said they would love me to
~~
never be afraid to ask
Hi Beth, gosh, I'm always afraid to ask. But you made me think...maybe I could do this too.
ReplyDeleteAbout your question of our fall...oh my it takes on forever. We never have good and I mean real good winters. Used to when I was little but things have changed. So some days it's like fall takes all the way up to spring (only without the sweet colors of the leaves turning into gold).
Happy start of the week and tanks for believing in us by putting out the words : Never be afraid to ask.
beth this is my favorite family photo yet(next week i am sure you will have my new favorite) i love the spontaneity and the little one standing there to funny. kt
ReplyDeleteOMG! I love the little guy in the middle!!
ReplyDeleteSo cool....
I had a thought the other day that when I'm uber-rich (which won't be too long, I"m sure) I'm going to fly you up here to the wilds of the North and have you become our official family photographer.
My family bemoans the fact that their pictures of us are out of date...but Sebastian simply doesn't 'do' studio photography..neither do I, for that matter....
I always wonder who some people get so high off the ground and wonder how high I could jump in a shot like this.
ReplyDeleteThe little one still with feet planted on the ground is so cute. This makes the photo so brilliant.
A lesson for all of us...we need to just ask!! Wonderful image. Such joyous happy people!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this picture! The whole family looks so exuberant and the little one planted on the ground makes the whole picture come together. Great shot & cute family!
ReplyDeleteso much fun!!! hahahaha
ReplyDeleteso much
i have many times had positive replies to my "can i take your picture and put it on my blog". i think people sometimes feel like it is there bit of fame.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful picture. They look to be having so much fun. I find it very easy to ask people for their picture and use of on my blog. It's the only way to know how they feel about something like this. Hope all is well. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteAdorable - especially the individualist in the center.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture!! It says so much without the words.

ReplyDeleteThe little man who went a seperate way? Yeah, there's a future CEO!
ReplyDeleteBeth, my dear, that last line of yours? Spirit used you today. I have struggled with that last bit my entire life and I've let my efforts slide again. Thank you for being Spirit's voice to me today.
Beth ... you radiate such fun that I would imagine 99.9% of folks would want to "play" with you any day! Looks like you had the same lucky gorgeous weather ... perfect choice to spend your day in a park!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!! Now honestly, who could resist you?
ReplyDelete:-D
(((hugs))),
love,
me
How fun! I am just getting to the point of wanting to take action shots and talking to people. It is so fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, they do look like a fun family! I love your courage in these situations.
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun family.
You are so right - what can it hurt to ask?
I am always afraid to ask, too! So, thanks for giving me some good motivation, because these folks look great!
ReplyDeleteThe little guy is just too cute, and reminds me of my son at his preschool graduation eons age. I just may have to dig that out.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your daughter is okay...a scary thing for a parent to see their child in a hospital gown.
I have to ask...did you enter a contest at a scrapbook magazine site for "motion photos"? I saw an entry by a Beth, of a jumping photo of her son & friends celebrating a grad. I could swear I saw it before........
what a great blog you have- love love the name!
ReplyDeleteso true! i love this. xo
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome...and such a great reminder!
ReplyDeleteLove the energy in that photograph :-)
ReplyDeleteit was meant to be ...I bet this made your day!
ReplyDeleteI have the sudden urge to go out in a crowd and start asking people for a picture...
ReplyDeleteToo bad I don't have the courage to do it. Wish I did though!
While lost in (cyber) space last night I discovered your blog. I spent several hours exploring, admiring and being inspired by your work. I too am a long time "vintage junque" lover and the photos from the flea market made my heart palpatate !!! Would you mind sharing where it is located ? I am in Northern IL and always up for a new adventure = )
ReplyDeleteVickie
This is so great and funny! Thanks for asking :)
ReplyDeletePerfect, perfect picture!! I love it!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh this is inspiring. I am such a chicken when it comes to asking people. What's the worst that could happen, right?
ReplyDeleteThank you
