Yesterday I was packing up my equipment to head off to Kate & Viren’s wedding. We had some topsoil delivered the day before for our garden and the kids had been having a blast playing in it. The previous days I had made sure the kids were fully dressed, including socks and shoes (which could be taken off outside before coming in) but yesterday they were in various stages of undress while playing in the dirt. Colin came over to kiss me goodbye covered from head to toe in dirt – it looked like he had taken a mudbath! I wanted one picture in particular, but all my good equipment was packed (including all my backup lenses). The only thing I had out was my little XTi and 50mm 1.4 lens. I grabbed it and hoped he hadn’t gone far. Luckily he was still on the deck waiting for his goodbye kiss and I shot a few quick frames.
