Red Alert

Yesterday's shot had some lovely reflected light and I remembered this one had that same warm red mud brick light. I was shooting inside a little coffee warehouse when a young boy came to the window to see what I was doing. I immediately saw the warmth of the light and the handsomeness of his face combine to make a potentially strong image. I swung the camera up fast, composed quickly and apparently decided to use just a sliver of the window in the frame. I can't say this was an altogether conscious decision. He didn't stick around long enough for a second frame so I'm glad I got it on the first.

Make pictures, think fast.

The gorgeous golden light aginst his face, with a great expression captured in a fraction of moment. Interesting decisive moment.
