I took this at Death Valley. I was about to leave the dunes and I saw few kids with the dress. It looks like I took this picture in 1950's. Conveniently, I had my 70-200mm on my D800E to capture this shot, compressing near and far in one plane. Don't go there in summer. This was in February and already 80 degrees.

I took a photo tour in Alaska and our instructor told us not to erase any pictures in camera, not until you upload them on your computer and look at them in the bigger screen. You never know what you would find. This one didn't look great at all in my 3-inch camera display. It's obviously out of focus and blurry. The shutter speed was to slow to freeze my son's movement for the picture to be nice and crisp. But, when I saw this on my computer screen, I liked it. The blur indicates motion and reminds me of my son transitioning to be more active. This picture now is a keeper. It tells the story.

An Indian wedding is a great place to take pictures. So colorful and cultural. I took this picture when it's not so colorful and festive, however. And, that's what makes it so ironic and interesting.....at least to me. There can be so many stories in this one picture. (Nikon D90, Nikkor 50mm, 1/60 f/1.4)
A singer of a band was nice enough to pose to my camera. Thanks to my D7000 with my fast 50mm, I was able to focus very quickly and didn't lose this opportunity. Luckily, composition is very good, too. I guess you don't have to be a pro if your equipment is good. All the technologies are making photography idiot-proof, huh? I guess most of it is about being there at right time and composing a picture, we don't have to worry too much about technical aspect of photography as much anymore.
