Neighbourhood Kids Series - Image #5 (Nick&Ellena)
Posted by Magda (Vancouver, Canada) on 7 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. :)

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 he word any way you'd like."
Thank you so much for taking your time to visit and comment on my photographs. It is greatly appreciated! :)

Susan from Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
Great shot Magda....How do you get these kids to do exactly what you want??? Are Nick & Ellena brother & sister?? If so, I REALLY need to know how you got them to pose like this???? They look like they actually like each other!!!! :)

@Susan: Hahaha you are too funny Susan! Yes, they are siblings and they are great together! Hard to believe, I know (I have an older brother so I know how it is! lol) but that's the truth. I made Nick look taller so that gave me this wonderful smile on his face and not so impressed Ellena which, I think made them look super cute this way! ;)
john4jack from Corvallis, Oregon, United States
Outstanding. This is the best one yet of Nick (dynamite smile).
