Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 3 October 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.
On Monday I posted a shot to celebrate Children’s Day. On Tuesday, it was a shot to celebrate Parents’ Day.
So I thought why not name it Family Day today and celebrate it by posting this shot.
I remember capturing this shot when it was beginning to rain and as this family by the water didn’t want to leave the scenic place, they took out their umbrellas.
What struck me as I look at this shot is how the umbrellas symbolize the protection, shelter and security of a family. Family should be a place where one can find safety, solace and refuge from the harsh elements of life, a sanctuary amongst storms.
Would you celebrate Family Day with me by giving your loved ones a loving hug or a gentle touch today? Thanks! :)
Happy Family Day!!!

You're continuing on in the same style as yesterday's image -- and why not, when you're onto a good thing! Just as successful, in my opinion.
This is a wonderful capture... very artistic approach to it and it works well to portray the moment.
