Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #67: Candid

Posted on October 13, 2019 by Helen C

This is my submission for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #67: Candid.

Anne-Christine said: “Taking photos of people or animals when they have no idea that you’re doing it is called candid photography.”

I love candid photos. It seems to me that when someone posing for a photo, the excitement (surprise?) part of a photo would no longer be there. 😉


At a farmers market in Vermont… the light was irresistible.



I saw similar emotion on their faces. The man on the left had a sign saying: “Retired teacher (I think it was “teacher”… I don’t remember). Pension not enough for living.” (Something like that.) How can anyone forget him?

A ring pop was the reward of being a ring bearer at the wedding. Whatever worked… but blue? 😉

Thank you, Anne-Christine.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

    Lovely choices Helen altho sad about the inadequate pension. I’m sure that’s true in many cases.

      Thanks, Lois. Surprisingly, his shirt stayed white! But like I told Dawn, I wasn’t thrilled that he kept sticking his tongue out when I tried to take a photo later. 😉
      Have a great day.

    I wonder what flavor is that blue ring pop. Blueberry? Butterfly pea flower?
