My first thought was to show you a photo I took of the world-famous Diego Rivera Court at the Detroit Institute of Arts where tonight (Friday) I heard an amazing performance of the Oblivion Project playing compositions by the Argentinian nuevo tango master, Astor Piazzolla, but then I pulled up this pic and it won hands down. At the concert this loving dad was sitting near me with his two daughters. I "lap shot" several frames--where I shoot blind with my camera sitting in my lap--and hoped I'd captured even a hint of their interactions. I guess I got lucky because this was among them. Sometimes lap shooting is the only way to get the candid shots I want. The minute I put the camera to my eye, people freeze up. But if it's just sitting on my lap no one even notices.
You can listen to Astor Piazzolla and his quintet performing his composition, "Verano Porteno," by clicking on this YouTube link:
