Becky hired me even before her 14th birthday. She knew what she wanted for most of her party, down to some of the shots, like this one involving "light painting" with sparklers. This is a 3 second shot. I just told the kids in the back to draw doodles in the air and then asked two boys to run from me to her and cross behind to to get this effect.
On the computer, I just erased some apartments in the background so that the sparklers could pop more in the frame. Taken at the Police Memorial Hall on Montana.
