Swinging

Swinging
Middlebrook, VA
Fall 2010


I like to take photo shoots with this kid. He’s uninhibited and loose as a goose. I told him to get on the swing and “give it to me big”. And he did. He gave me faces and jesters and distortions. He gave me fun and fancy free.

When I finished up I reviewed the photos and I had mixed emotions. I loved the free spiritedness of it all. And then I thought of myself. This inhibition has passed me by. I’m stuck, stayed, tight and cautious. What has happened to my “loose as a goose” days?
