Photo of the Week - Week 21

My last post was about event shooting; this time around I wanted to highlight a few shots I took at that particular event and share a few of my thoughts.

Details

I like to look for a few details that tell something of the event. Just a couple of things, though, because the event is about the people.

The Purpose - People

The brother playing the role of MC had this great smile - his whole face would smile every time he smiled!
