I was photographing with another photographer at a Farmer’s Market. This is uncommon, I usually work alone. We both saw a couple whose upper bodies were in open shade, but their lower bodies were in very deep shade. And in the shade was a pot bellied pig on a leash, being held by the lady. Of course, doesn’t everyone have a pot bellied pig on a leash?

But that is not the point here. Harmony had a killer smile and my friend Eric photographed her first. As he clicked away, I had my camera on burst mode and got six shots that all look essentially like this:

Then Harmony turned towards me, and I got seven shots like this.

But while she was turning her head toward me, I got this one (one!) shot.

For me, this is by far the most compelling image of the series. Once again, burst mode saved the day. You just don’t know when a micro gesture might occur.

Oh yeah, the venue was far too crowded to move the pig into good light. He/she wasn’t that good looking anyway.

Have a nice weekend! Good luck to viewers in the northeastern U.S.
