Theme: FAMILY
“My adorable identical twin granddaughters, Devyn and Dakota. I know their names, but I still can’t tell them apart, and they will be three next month!”
– Lisa Williams, Retired, Airports
John’s comment: I can’t tell them apart, either, Lisa! I love this photo – the tone is very warm, their expressions are gentle, and you came in close, to really emphasize their features. Awesome!
“I shot this picture of my family having fun at the park.”
– Sharon Khaw, LADWP
John’s comment: And that really comes through, Sharon – a beautiful shot of a family having fun, together. Clear, well-composed … a winner!
“Mother and daughter Sophia by the deck gun at the San Francisco Maritime National Park, Pier 45, in the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf.”
– Mike Aubin, LADWP
John’s comment: I like how this photo manages the viewer’s eye – of course you at first see the deck gun, but at the end there’s a family, a complete juxtaposition of content. It makes for a dynamic composition and energy. Thanks!
“While it wasn’t my own ‘Big Fat Greek Wedding,’ it was still quite a spectacle to watch this newlywed couple celebrating their future life together in a rural village square, surrounded by friends and family.”
– Yves Didier, Airport Police
John’s comment: Your photo looks like it came right out of that movie, Yves! And nothing could be more infused with family than a big family wedding – they’re all different, yet all passionate for the new couple. This is the good stuff, for sure. Thanks for submitting!
