One goal that a serious photographer has is to capture a signature moment or something that clearly connects the subject with "his or her" reality. He tries to capture an individual's singular essence or a thread of their uniqueness. It still surprises me when I am successful.
When the subject is happy with the results, kind and complimentary words often follow.
Well, today I received a note from one of my clients. She writes: "That is the best picture I've seen of me since I've gotten so old." I reckon that is a compliment. I don't know when she got "so old", but I do know she has a couple of decades on me. I just felt the need to smile when I read it.
I take compliments when and where I can get them. Just don't expect me to post the picture. She is happy with it, so we will leave it to your imagination.
