Sunday

Concentration

“It is one thing to photograph people. It is another to make others care about them by revealing the core of their humanness.” ~Paul Strand

As many of you know - I don't do "People Pictures" very well. But sometimes I get lucky. This was one of the shots from the Beret Ceremony last weekend at Fort Benning, GA where my son is at OSUT Training - which combines Basic and AIT together. After this training he goes to Airborne school. I am a very proud Mama Bear!

As a fellow person who doesn't do "people picture" photos that much, I can understand the surprise at having them turn out well. However, I am not as surprised as you are, my friend.

You have every right to be proud. Rock on, girl.
