Week 18: Laughter - Adult Category




This week's contest theme at I Heart Faces is Laughter.




Here is my entry for the Adult Category:











This photo won Sixth Place in Week 18 Contest

I took this picture of Maria during her Senior Photo Shoot a couple of weeks ago. She laughed so hard for about 15 minutes that we had to wait for her to catch her breath before continuing with the pictures. This was one of my favorite shots from the day.

Photo taken along the Vardar River - downtown Skopje, Macedonia.

Here is my entry for the Kids Category:



Adria is one of the children who attends "The Future of the Family" kindergarten in Skopje. She has had so many struggles in her young life - a handicap that she has totally overcome, the financial situation of her family, etc. BUT she loves life and especially school.

She laughs a lot and this is a photo of one of those many times.

Week 17: HATS - Adults Category


This week's theme at "I Heart Faces" is: HATS

Here is my submission for the Adult Category:

This photo was taken this past weekend in Skopje, Macedonia. Maria is graduating from high school this month, and I took her Senior Pictures at a park near her apartment. Maria was 8 years old when our families first met. It has been fun to be part of her life, to see her change and grow into a beautiful young woman.
