Heart of Light - a photo on Flickriver

Heart of Light

            As much as I love flowers and foliage as background elements for photos, I am a winter person. I like when it's cold out (it doesn't get too cold here to be fair), and more importantly, I like when less people are around wherever I'm shooting. It's Spring, the school year is almost over, and the weather is nice: USC's campus is CONSTANTLY packed with photographers and groups of soon to be graduates, fancy kids dressed up for formal photos, and frats and sororities bunched up to fit every one in a peppy shot.

The only thing that saves me is that they are always in the biggest open space, directly in the light. I scurry off into the little side alleys and wander around the campus looking for the best light and shadows to add some patterns to my shots, and play with new ideas. That pursuit plus my current thing I'm trying to learn, taking wider shots away from my subject, led to this shot in a quiet little corner of campus. Got to take my time and compose this without groups of students all taking the exact same photo with different faces in each one crowding me, and I'm happy for the peace, quiet, and lovely photo with Gabrielle.
