Neighbourhood Kids Series - Image #2 (Jordyn)
Posted by Magda (Vancouver, Canada) on 4 June 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Over the past two weeks I took photographs of all the neighbourhood kids that visit our house daily. All of them are wonderful kids that play a huge role in our everyday lives. Paige and Tara adore them and treat them as family.
I have a full permission from their parents to post them here on AM3. :)

"The CHALLENGE is on! Thanks to everyone for your comments and suggestions. Abstracts seemed to generate the most interest so ABSTRACTS are it. Let's set the date for June 25th to give us all some time to get creative. The only rule is that there are NO rules - after all, these are supposed to be ABSTRACT!!! Any photographic technique, subject and processing is perfect! So pass the word along and let's get creative!
My favorite definition of the word 'abstract': something that concentrates in itself the essential qualities of anything; essence. Feel free to redefine the word any way you'd like."

another fantastic portrait shot! I must agree with the rest, and suspect that your neighborhood has a "beauty is a must" clause attached to it... :)
