OK. It's actually after he finished dragging it home and was posing outside of our apartment with his buddies. He's the one in the cast. We lived in Tucson that year, and real Christmas trees were insanely expensive. I don't remember if we used the tumbleweed as a tree.

Yes! I love photos like that too. Ones that are snippets of a story. People are infinitely interesting... i guess that's why i majored in psych.

I also like nature pics, and anything with a strong geometric form.

I love how pictures turn out when the subject doesn't know you're taking any. People always appear much more natural and real.

Take this kid for example:

Him not knowing I was taking the picture set up the shot so much better than if he was staged. He looks completely melted into being at the beach, enjoying the surf. His natural condition, immersed in the setting. As opposed to a "smile for the camera" moment when all that is lost and he's just another kid at the beach.
