“Be yourself. I much prefer seeing something, even if it is clumsy, that doesn't look like somebody else's work.” ~ William Klein Klein was one who was not shy of breaking the traditional rules of photography. Not worrying about the perfect composition enabled him to capture the spirit of a scene and encapsulate the energy radiating from moments around him. This image is one of my favorite of Klein’s, you can hear and feel the happiness from the kids in front of him.
