My favorite thing to do on my Wednesdays off is to walk from my condo to Bliss Bakery for lunch. Since moving to Peachland shortly before Christmas, this has become a liturgical part of my week. In the eleven minutes it takes to walk, I will see, without fail, the nuclear Peachland family: a husband, a wife, and their little dog.
I'm still rather new to photography, and shooting in public can be rather nerve-racking. Mostly I'm terrified that I'll take someone's picture who absolutely does not want it taken.
I saw this couple coming from a mile away, and really, really wanted the shot. So I set up, fiddling with the camera, pretending I wasn't interested in them. When they hit the mark, without using the viewfinder, I shot from my knees.
