Guest Photo: "A New Perspective" from John Mata
On Easter weekend, my friend John Mata (who introduced us to GIMP) and his family attended the annual Eggstravaganza festival at Santee Lakes, Santee, California. He says:
“The weather was prime. We were with good friends. We had a great time. In this busy photo I converted the entire image to black and white, with the exception of my son Jayce and a little girl he had noticed off in the distance. In the midst of all that busyness there seemed to be a calm in my little boy. In that moment he had taken no notice of hundreds of people who had trampled the lawn all around him. But he had noticed a little girl. “
And I loved the photo – and what John did with it. File it under great children photography ideas.
