Something’s Afoot
I don't know this young man's name, but I'll call him Mr. Cool, because he stepped up to this railing with an air of confident optimism...and a sporty pair of sunglasses.
Feet Planted
Sometimes, if you plant your feet in one spot, you’ll be amazed at what happens around you. And although you can’t know exactly what will transpire, you can expect to be surprised — especially when children are around.
Standing Still
The Town of Lewisville and the West Side Civic Theatre recently brought the delightful musical, Peter Pan, to life in Shallowford Square for a period of several evenings. Before each performance, I’d usually stroll around the Square looking for nice record shots, as well as interesting photo moments. My meandering usually meant I’d stop by the playground area several times before the show started.
The playground area can sometimes be like a pinball machine gone haywire, depending on how many children are there. On show nights, there were usually a lot of kids at the playground, and they were “bouncing” all over the place. Up, down, backwards and forward, and every angle in between.
On one particular evening, I changed my strategy when photographing in the playground area. Instead of following kids wherever they were climbing, scooting, crawling, or running, I decided simply to stand in one spot and see what kind of shots I’d get. I rather like how those photos turned out. They have soul — or is that “sole”? Find out in the NEXT SECTION.
Feet by Feet
Did this particular playground maneuver call for this young lady to go feet first or head first?
Amazing feats (pun intended) can be performed when friends stick together.
Pirates were not only seen chasing Peter Pan later in the evening, but it appears that at least one of the pirates was afoot in the playground area.
