Father-Son Moment

[Harryb]

Hi You'll,

In October I got a VIP pass to a John Edwards rally in Cocoa, Florida to do some shooting. While getting crowd shots I caught this moment of a father and son. They really seemed to be connecting.

Yeah, the affection the son had for the father really caught my eye while I took the shot. It was one of those moments you see that just make you feel good.

I think that shots like yours (fine one btw) really demonstrate the power of photography to stir the emotions. Right now i must have over 20,000 pics of every possible subject but the ones I always go back and that evoke emotions are of my son and my grandchildren.

Thank you very much. When I went to the rally I inended to shoot it woth my Sigma 70-200/2.8 but in a senior moment I picked up the wrong lens case when I left the house and discovered that I had brought my 80-400 instead. That lens did a much better job on those shots that night than I had anticipated.
