Grab the moment

Usually, as far as photography is concerned it really matters to be at the right place at the right time. That is if you want to grab that special moment, that is… Sometimes you don’t even know it’s coming.. And it catches you completely off guard, so you miss it completely or if you are…

Christmas on the go
