Joy of Victory?

Uploaded: February 27, 2013

Description


--
Brothers and sisters of the team that won the Philadelphia Catholic (high school) League's Girl's Basketball Championship were all made up like this.
---
Shot this during the post-game celebration. As I pointed the camera at the boy, he reared back and looked terrified. So I put the camera down. His Mom was talking on her cell phone and kept gesturing to me to take his picture. But he was recoiling. Mom still kept gesturing, so I squeezed this one off quickly.
----
Have to run out shortly for an all-day project.

I love the shot. And I love the story, especially because I do also love shooting candids and this is one of those happenings that seems so funny and so real. #10596192
