Traci, this are great! You have an ability to get close and use depth of field. You were able to get wonderful expressions of people -- many of them were looking at the camera, but they didn't have typical posed smiles. I especially like #2, 3, 13, 24, and 28. The woman dancing in #16 really captures her spirit and sense of motion. The man in #27 says "union worker" to me. I can almost hear the drums in #9. Last, I like all the different points of view - people from the front, side, and back; I like how the flag divides the composition in #11, and how I feel like I'm standing right behind the people in red in #12 and sitting next to the boys on the curb in #19.
OMG...did you notice the guy in 27 is wearing a crop top??? Half this stuff I never notice when taking the picture. It's not until I look later and wonder...where/when did I take these.
Thanks for your thoughts Bonnie...maybe I like portraits because I don't have to think as hard.
Amazing! You've improved dramatically. I love this! The portraiture is really strong and the moments you capture are elegant and powerful. I can't wait to see more.
