Sakura Matsuri 2012
Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Bronica SQ-A
80mm Zenzanon PS f/2.8
Fuji Velvia 100F
I really dig this image as radiance emanates from this girl's smile. I am not sure if her accessory is exactly a parasol, but she was using it as a shade from the sun.
Beautiful kimono as well.
I got great shot after great shot at this Sakura Matsuri and it must have to do with my attitude and demeanor. A big honest smile and a little banter will go much farther with the subject than creeping about with a camera all clandestine-like. Get close and let all of the other photographers wait a second to make that extraordinary person feel a little more special. Sell off your zooms!
The Bronica also helps break the ice, I think - it is a funky, but toothsome camera.
In other news - I just dropped some cash on printing photos that I have always wanted to have printed.
Finally, the bare walls in my office will be spruced up with awesomeness.
