About Personal Candids

I like candids, but not the type taken from afar where the subject is unaware that they are being photographed. The telephoto lens or hidden camera are impersonal tools on the street. This group is for the engaged photographer and camera and for the subject who is a willing participant. Facing the camera, not facing the camera - smiling, or nor smiling, it doesn't matter. The subject would just need to know they were being photographed.

To keep the volume of images manageable and the quality high, I anticipate that this will be a heavily moderated group. Please, do not take it personally if images are removed. Also, the group does not have any obligatory comments rule but creative comments and reviews are welcome and advance the quality of the group.
