Mr. Freezies


A decisive moment that serendipitously turned out even better than I could have hoped.

I took this photo on a hot July day a couple of summers ago.  Looking at it now, I think it encapsulates what I love about street photography - the split-second decision to take a photo, the elements beyond my control falling together perfectly(like the way the boys' hands are positioned, the Mr. Freezies, the way one boy is looking at me while the other is looking up with a funny face). The exciting and challenging thing about street photography is that moments like this happen in fractions of a second.  And that is what makes it feel so good to capture them on film.
