I acknowledge I have no talent in this hobby as evidenced by my
posts. Especially when it comes to people pictures. Though I love
capturing people experiencing life events in candids it most often
leaves me with a sense of having invaded. I think I have captured
such a moment with this shot. Shortly after taking the picture I was
given the opportunity to talk with this beautiful young lady and share
a few verses of scripture along with the photo. Toward the end of
our conversation she asked teary eyed but bravely, "Oh please,
could I have a copy of this?" As if I could possibly have said no. At
that point I was near ready to give her the entire camera.
I will not share the details but believe the composition, body posture,
and facial expression tell the story. You be the judge, for I am becoming
just a sentimental old man with a camera and far too many memories.

Thought I'd ad this one taken seconds before the shot in the original post.

Oh, my! I would make a guess that those photos illustrate a broken heart. :'( How great, Jim, that you had a chance to share scripture with her and explain our Lord's unfailing love.
What a wonderful opportunity to talk to the girl and share!!
How moving, Jim. May God bless you - you're doing His work.
