When Pictures Move
Tuesday, September 29, 2009 by stephanie roberts Picture Hope: Curious Eyes & Hopeful Hearts from LittlePurpleCow Productions on Vimeo.
Earlier this year, I traded my Nikon D80 for a D90 primarily because I was drawn to the notion of experimenting with video. As a photographer first, my initial instinct and preference is always to create still images, but there are certain moments in time when a single photograph is challenged to clearly document an experience. Standing in an open field in Kizarakome, Rwanda when these children appeared was one of those moments. When pictures move, you can study the sweetness of evolving expressions, watch curiosity unfold, and witness the ease of joy and trust in motion.
How do you feel about moving pictures? Are you experimenting? Curious to try?
