  • photograph humour bum tnOut of the ordinary
    We all know the feeling - that itch that just has to be scratched. Well this little girl decided to scratch it - much to the embarassment of her brother.

    To capture fleeting moments like this requires instant readyness and the patience to watch a subject that 'just might' produce something out of the ordinary. Thee two children were being watched out of the corner of my eye because they were talking to each other. The camera was pre-set on the correct exposure and pre-focused just in case the did something worth photographing.

    The preparation really paid off, and this imgage has sold many times around the world.
