Between Two Flashes


Ready for Communion
Originally uploaded by Jagrap
The professional photographer taking the pictures of record during this photograph spent all of 30 seconds with Alex before he declared, "too bad this kid doesn't have any personality." Alex's first communion went well, but Alex did not like the taste of the wine. I showed up an hour and 30 minutes ahead of time to capture a visual history, but unfortunately the chaperones sat right in front of me.

The process began with a photo opportunity and it also concluded with one; this time it was the group picture of all the newly communed. The professional took three official shots before the over zealous parents were allowed to take theirs. Of course, we did not let even a microsecond go after the final shot before we started clicking; Alex said that all the flashes looked like fireworks.
