March 31, 2012 – A year of portraits – The Easter Bunny

03.31.12 Easter Bunny

Covering the annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Madisonville City Park I bumped into the Easter Bunny and decided to use its picture for my portrait of the week for my year long photography project. I’m often tempted to ask the person to remove the head in these situations so I can get a picture of the person behind the character, but always opt not to not destroy the moment for the kids that are around.
