My favorite photos from 2009: people

These two guys are just happy, enjoying the day, and having fun, they weren't posing. I don't like posed photos, they look like fake emotions from bad actors. I recommend taking photos when people aren't posing and just catching them enjoying themselves. When you are smiling at them while taking the photo, they usually smile right back, 'cause laughter can be infectious

Above; this guy is staged, but not ready to race. His feet aren't ready, and he's looking at the racer in the other lane, not the timing lights on the tree

The kid in the wheel chair is not depressed, he's having family fun, and proving that any day at the races is a good day.
