Approach..

Here is the approaching storm and my hubby, my 3 babies and me (behind the camera) trying to get away from it! This is a photo that was taken nearly 2 years ago (old point-and-shoot camera), I though I lost it (or deleted it) but found it out of last night and had to share!

    I’m glad you didn’t loss this image. Even w/o knowing it is your family, the setting, and the comp makes this image very universal, and cause the viewer to respond to it immediately. I love the evocative and emotive qualities of this photo and the tonal range, exposure and details are fantastic. Very dramatic and appealing image.
