I was up in Edmonton a couple weeks ago, to see my brother Adam and his wife Melanie in the hospital, as they were preparing for the arrival of baby John.
My brother is a goofball in front of the camera, so you have to sneak up on him, catch him when he's lost in his own thoughts to get genuine emotion on film. I really mean film this time too, as I figured my little Pentax K1000 was a little more unobtrusive than my Canon 5D.
A little tip for film lovers. Buy your own scanner. I use the Epson V500, and since I just ask my developer (yes, I mean Walmart) to give me the negatives, (which can be as fast as 20 minutes) it costs me $2.50 instead of $10, and a lot less bulk via stacks of 4x6's I wont need, or use. Oh and did I mention the pictures look better?
