I was standing outside one of the gardens at the Eastman House, when I heard a woman in a loud voice say: "One, Two, THREE!" and I couldn't imagine what was going on. I stepped into the garden and saw this - on the count of three, she took the photo. She was just a mom doing photographs of her children, and they are well trained! I snapped off two shots really fast, then it was over. Whew! Then they moved to another part of the garden, and it started all over again: "One, Two, THREE!" What's cute about this, is that the dog seems to be the only one who knows I am taking their picture. Please click on this so you can see it in more detail.

I love this! Great shot, I love that the dog is still and in focus and the subject is slightly blurry. Perfect.
Jackie: Thanks for your comment. I was SO afraid that the woman was going to stand up before I got the shot! Whew!
Another candidate for Cartier-Bresson's "decisive moment."
The irony is the "command line" called out in the quest for a perfectly non-candid shot. And, in Rochester, no less.

Very classic
Another family who is "trained" for the photo op! And your line is "Smile or else" :-) bsk
