Shots of the Day # 52 – To Turn 15 in Spring
I don’t head out with the camera often enough. Unless that is the main objective...”We’re going here. You’ll want to take pictures.”
We had attended a Sunday opera recital in a classy uptown Baltimore church and took a stroll afterwards in a nearby park. Among the people enjoying the setting were a few Latino families celebrating their girl’s fifteenth birthday.
I complain about phone cameras in ways that barely hide my jealousy...”REAL photographers use REAL cameras and we’re proud to have to lug pounds of equipment into the world...so we can later see that you made better images with a damn phone you carry in your pocket.”
Something like that.
Complaining aside, I’m glad we happened upon this young lady while she was posing for her photographer...and especially pleased that I had my phone with me.

I can barely manage a selfie so your shot of this young lady is beautiful.
Beautiful picture. & gorgeous dress
Thank you for the compliments. I often get too much credit for capturing something that's beautiful to begin with. I'm OK with that.
Wow! Did the family get a copy! This is pboto art at its best!
Ted, as you are no doubt aware, following the move of the Oakland Raiders Football team to Las Vegas, & a fantastic new stadium, so too ls the Oakland Baseball team abandoning their stadium in Oakland (as the fans have abandoned their team) and they are moving to Las Vegas also, & a spectacular new stadium that is markedly reminiscent of the Sydney, Australia Opera House! Google the new stadium to see the concept drawings of the new stadium to be built on the now imploded Historic Tropicana Hotel & Casino site on the South end of the las Vegas Strip. Just what we need.....A THIRD stadium to snarl traffic on game & event days joining the T-Mobile stadium for the Golden Knights Hockey team, & the Alegiant Stadium for the Raiders Football team! One would think that with all the available vacant space in Vegas, a less congested spot for the Baseball stadium could have been found, but of course the Hotel/Casino owners on the South end of the Strip are ecstatic for the rooms that will be filled for game & event days!
