The Decisive Moment

Hi there!
What I have here is my "Decisive Moment" assignment. The assignment was to shoot 250 images of everything, more specifically, a decisive moment. Through careful editing with the help of my awesome teacher, J. Lovell, I choose one image.


Though this isn't so much a decisive moment, I give myself credit for this picture.
This is Al.
Al is homeless.
I asked to take his picture. He said No.
After conceiving him, I shoot severally pictures of him being silly.
At the end, I was about to put the camera away when I called his name and he looked up.
He forgot he camera was there and I took one shoot of him looking at me.

It's a little decisive because it was in the moment. Meaning I couldn't retake this image at anytime.

And credit to me because I believe this is a fantastic self-portrait of Al.

This was in my head


...Some of them were pissed on or shit on by the Pentagon, but that doesn’t give you the right to mutiny! 

You call it what you want!- you'll down there were up here. YOU walked into the Goddamned wrong room commander!
