Parade faces

We had a fun family outing to the Dallas Christmas parade.  Of course, the primary goal was to have fun with the family, but as a photographer, it was a fun exercise to catch expressions, try to use clean backgrounds and just have some fun with it.

As it turns out, the lovely wife does a pretty good job of that.  I handed her the camera while I held the 19-month-old, and she got this.

About the only clean background (using 24-70mm on a 40D) was catching folks against segments of the building across the street...
