Snow Day at Whittier Elementary School offered more photo

opportunities than I could shoot. It’s all about finding moment in

the mayhem in such situations. When I saw three children working as a

team making a snowman’s head, I knew there would be a picture.

Looking through the lens, I noticed I could manage to squeeze in

someone sliding down the hill if the timing would cooperate. A little

patience paid off and I got Brenda Montano ready to launch down a

snow hill. And getting the volunteer Juan Mesta with his funny hat

was perfect. It came together great. It was just a matter of wait,

watch, and shoot.
