Artist's Comments

Photo taken 7-31-05 at the duck pond.

I met Mackenzie and her mother shortly after taking the photos of Teesh and Katherine, also on my DA site.

What I remember most about Mackenzie was the big grin on her face while she was feeding the ducks. Several times, she would pick up the goldfish that she wanted to feed to the ducks, edge slowly to the side of the pond, and then pull back right when the ducks came for fear of being bitten.

I love photography because it helps me to remember. I've always had a bad memory and in addition I'm a terrible listener, so photography is very much my own way to make myself feel human again, and to remind myself of what is important to me.

Technical info: Canon 1DS. 85mm 1.8 USM lens. ISO 1000, F2.8 at 1/200th. Sun had just set behind the mountains, so things were getting dark.

Ah I love this one even more! :) This just has so emotion in it I can't even describe. It's really innocent and beautiful ^_^ Shows a sense of...serenity I think. :)

I think there is a different for people to remember the important things in life. Photography is one of those great ways ^_^. It helps you express to :).

Thanks for dropping by =). Feeding ducks is really relaxing. And afterwards I can go to China Town and order Peking Duck, a delicious (if a bit rich) meal.
