Like I never call a dog by his name, I never say "smile" to a child. I hang out and wait for the child to relax. Children like my whistles, too. AND, they love to Helen Peppehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099674380967937670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079828765401326768.post-70911363335277108682012-05-21T14:22:38.394-04:002012-05-21T14:22:38.394-04:00"Watch for swinging spit" is more than j..."Watch for swinging spit" is more than just photography advice.

What I loved in particular, is the way that you describe being prepared for 'the shot' without forcing your ideas of what that might be on the animal. I think all of us can benefit from reminders to relax, work within the parameters we're given (deadlines, etc), and just allow creative magic to Jennifer Martainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166529605416254165noreply@blogger.com
