In Photography, as in Life, Timing is Everything.

You never know when opportunity (luck?) will present itself.  As a photographer, you have just an instant to capture that perfect expression that captures someone's personality.  Or at an event (party, wedding, etc.) anything can happen, and you have to be ready.  I remember years ago - I was on the other end of the camera with a beautiful model, posing, and ready.  The photographer was there, aiming the camera, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and completely missed the shot.  Timing is everything, even when shooting landscapes (just read about Ansel Adams photographing Yosemite).

In the following photos, of a Halloween Hustler (imitating Larry Flynt), I shot the first photo, and remained ready to shoot more, when the second photo opportunity arose, and caught a great expression for those circumstances.

Below are a few more photos from Halloween in West Hollywood (from 2006 - 2012):

Note:  if you've stumbled upon this blog and enjoy the Halloween photos, I will be posting photos from now until Halloween.  If I go this year, then I will be posting some more for a short time afterwards.

Thanks for stopping by.
