Photography 101: Connected

Posted on by Stacy P. Fischer

Two couples, one elderly and one young adults, holding hands as they wait to cross the street.

This is one of those photos where I captured more than I knew. Walking down the street in Washington, DC, I was drawn to the elderly couple holding hands. I didn’t know how much time I had before the light was going to change, so I quickly stopped, shot the photo, and moved on (as they began to cross the street). How surprised was I when I uploaded the photo to my computer and saw that, not only had I captured another couple, but they were holding hands too. I love the connection of the couples, but even more, the contrast of the generations.

    • Ha, not so brave, Elizabeth. I took it without them knowing 😉 I, too, am still working on getting up my courage to ask in certain situations. Here, though, even had I been comfortable asking, would have ruined the moment. Thanks so much for your comment!

  9. I love this photo. Such a contrast …. the young and the old, generations ago and today’s generation. Perfect picture of then and now.
