More features...

While feature hunting, I try to keep an open mind and eye to what's around me, but lately I realized that I gravitate towards ypeople my age, teens and kids. While driving around today, I tried to pin point the reason behind this. I don't think there's really much to it except for the fact that the people of this age range will be who they are and aren't necessarily worried about their photo being taken. A sort of innocence I guess. Sure, kids are sometimes too aware of the camera and it takes a while before they stop mugging for it, but once they've ignored you, they've really ignored you and it makes it easier to be creative, run around photographing, and for me, just relaxing and doing my job. However, with that said, I plan to even the scales and find some older folk on my next trip out to find a feature.

I don't typically shoot these kind of photos, or maybe try not to (?) but was driving over this on a highway, said, "What the hell," and decided to pull over.
